Kevin Michael Jordan (born December 14, 1972) is a former American football wide receiver who played one season in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the UCLA Bruins, receiving All-American honors as a junior in 1994. He played professionally for the Arizona Cardinals and was a member of the Cincinnati Bengals. After trying out with the Denver Broncos, he became a chaplain for UCLA sports teams as well as the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers.
Jordan attended high school at High Point High in Beltsville, Maryland. He was a 170-pound (77 kg) tight end on a team that ran the winged-T and did not pass the ball much. He was more notable as an All-American defensive back, recording 16 interceptions as a senior. He decided to attend the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where he joined his brother, Al.
Jordan missed a season after suffering an injury in a high school all-star game, and sat out another as a redshirt. Having not played on a passing team at High Point, he needed to adjust to the more complicated schemes at UCLA. Jordan began his Bruins career with 18 receptions for 150 yards as a freshman. He followed with a solid performance of 45 catches for 612 yards in 1993, but he was overshadowed that season by teammate J. J. Stokes, who set UCLA records with 82 catches for 1,181 yards and 17 touchdowns.
