good article. only bone i have to pick is when he said Jordan was recruited as a 5* RB out of high school. people always get that wrong. he was offered here first as a DB like sophomore year i think, declined, offered again junior year as a WR. accepted. came here and went straight to the WR room. then all those RB injuries happened and he volunteered to switch to RB with RoJo also switching from QB to RB. played freshman year as a RB. got hurt. went back to WR because RoJo wanted to stay as RB and Herman recruited Bijan so they didn't have that RB roster depletion anymore and he planned on being a WR anyway.

Anybody know the degree of the injury he incurred on the last catch late in the game? Hoping it’s nothing. 

McVay said Whittington “got his shoulder” but like the other banged-up players coming out of Sunday, this injury won’t cause him to miss any time.

Jordan seems like that guy who flew under the radar and gets drafted for depth but once he gets a chance to play he becomes indispensable.  

Had the Chiefs grabbed him to go with Worthy, the Rice injury wouldn't be worrying them so much. Mahomes would love him.

Jordan Whittington is a perfect example of getting out what you put in as a Longhorn. It wasn't the stuff he did on the football team that makes him a legend, it's how much he invested outside of that in the university, its programs, his education and promoting its brand. 

He wasn't expecting to make the NFL, let alone be a starter and the featured guy on their socials. He was expecting to go pro in something else and it's fantastic that he's making the most of his well earned opportunity
