Jordan Leslie played college ball for 3 years at UTEP from 2011-2013.
He racked up 125 catches for 2015 yards and 15 TDs.
In 2014, he played his Senior season for BYU catching 55 passes for 779 yards and 6 TDs.
Undrafted, Leslie signed with the Vikings in 2015, but didn’t make the squad.
He’d then spend time on the off-season and practice squad rosters of the Jaguars, Falcons, and Titans, before finding a home on the Browns from 2016-17.
Leslie made his first NFL catch in 2017, and then was later placed on IR and subsequently released.
After some more practice squad and offseason action with the Broncos in late 2017 and through a good portion of 2018, Jordan decided to sign with the Salt Lake Stallions of the AAF.
On the season he caught 10 passes for 79 yards and a TD.
When the AAF folded in 2019, he signed with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the CFL, but asked to be released soon thereafter.
His Instagram lists him as a ‘retired NFL receiver’ and owner of OYD Sports Academy in Chandler, AZ.
NOTES:
Pretty sure after the conclusion of the hard fought contest between the Stallions and the Commanders in SA, as I was leaving I was walking behind Leslie and his family. He was complaining about how the team wasn’t giving him or the WRs enough chances to make plays. Not sure why I didn’t ask him for his autograph but it may have been because he was so frustrated.
I think that when I got Mike a few years back, I was later thumbing through my Skybox 1992 binder and realized he had a card. Thankfully my friend Rick came through in a pinch for me. He asked me if I needed him and sent him to me unprompted.
I think one of the hardest things to take from a hobby- especially things like autograph collecting, is not to become jaded, not to become insular to making new friends or helping others. Rick and I met through the autograph group that I manage on Facebook. He and Jake have been constant contributors and fast friends. I always pay it forward, so I am always thankful when I get something. This is really what the hobby is about, and I am so thankful that others think of me.
Big Ted Washington played defensive line for Louisville finishing with 297 total tackles, 27 sacks, 1 FF, and 1 INT.
He’d be selected at the bottom of round one by the San Fransisco 49ers in 1991.
Washington made his time primarily at NT, before hopping over to DT in ’93.
He’d be traded to the Broncos in 1994, where Ted showed glimpses of what he could do- just from the NT position.
It’d be in ’95 Ted transitioned to Buffalo, where he established himself as one of the most dominant NT of the 90s.
He’d play 6 seasons there for the Bills, posting 378 total tackles, and 19.5 sacks.
Big Ted hopped over to the Bears in 2001- anchoring their line through the 2002 season at DT, thus beginning Ted’s hired gun phase of his career.
Ted from here played a season with New England in 2003, Oakland in ’04-’05, closing out his career in ’06-’07 as a member of the Browns.
ACCOLADES:
Pro Bowl 1997-’98, 2000- ’01
All-Pro 2001
NOTES:
Big Ted doesn’t really sign through the mail so I decided to pick up this set need via EBay. I was comfortable picking up this autograph since it was from a collector located in Buffalo.
