Jordan got picked eighth overall by the New Orleans Saints in Thursday's NFL draft out of Arizona State. His older brother, Jalen, went 20th to the Cleveland Cavaliers in last year's NBA draft. Jalen couldn't be there in Pittsburgh to celebrate because he was suiting up for the Cavs in their playoff game against the Raptors in Toronto that same night. Cleveland dropped game three but still leads the series to games to one. Jordan called it a dream-shared moment, knowing his brother had duties to handle first. Even the Cavs coach made sure to pass along the big news during the playoffs, putting family first amid the intensity. Before the draft, folks speculated the Browns might grab Jordan's sixth overall to reunite the brothers in Cleveland, but a trade bumped them back too. 9th, sending him to the Saints instead.
