On many teams he is going to be their best offensive lineman and with his size, strength, and movement is probably going to line up at LT. On many other teams he is going to be considered an outstanding center. However, most teams are not going to have him follow Pat Elflein and Billy Price at the position. Not too mention a guy like Nick Mangold. So while he was a good center he is not a center of the caliber that Buckeye fans have become accustom to.

With that said....I think he is an outstanding young offensive lineman and I sincerely hope that they are not going to limit looking at him as an option at an interior position. I would really like to see him working at the RT position as well. Like I already said I believe it almost hurt him being at a program such as OSU and that if he were at a lesser program would have been seen as an OT.

My comments weren't point at you, or anyone who takes the time to actually learn about a player before declaring them to be "great" or in this particular instance "pretty terrible at Center".  The only way I could see anyone having the opinion of Jordan being "pretty terrible at Center", is if they were only looking at a couple of early season miscues, and not at his entire season of work.  

Now, I am in NO WAY suggesting or lobbying for Jordan to play Center for the Bengals, as I think he's much more valuable at Guard.  However, I do like that he's got a season of solid experience under his belt at Center, should the need ever arise for him to have to fill in.
