www.naplesnews.com/news/2011/aug/17/pro-football-florida-tarpons-sign-former-cal-recei/The Florida Tarpons, Southwest Florida's arena football team, has signed former University of California receiver Robert Jordan.
A two-time honorable mention Pac-10 selection, Jordan ranked seventh in career receptions (156) and ninth in both receiving yards (2,047) and touchdowns (13).

Following his Cal career, Jordan was a non-drafted invitee for the San Francisco 49ers, but requested his release to tend to a personal matter. He also spent time with British Columbia in the Canadian Football League.
