After going undrafted in the2012 NFL draft Jorden signed with theMinnesota Vikings on April 29, 2012.[3] However, he was unable to make the final roster after suffering an injury in training camp. He was released by the Vikings on August 27.[4]
Jorden opted to play for theSpokane Shock of theArena Football League (AFL) for their2013 season (March–July).[5][6][7] In one season in the AFL he caught 95 passes for 1,082 yards with 26 touchdowns.[8]
Following the conclusion of the 2013 AFL season, nearing the close of the CFL season, Jorden signed onto the practice roster of theCalgary Stampeders of theCanadian Football League. He did not dress in the remaining four games of the regular season and was released from the practice roster at season's end.
Jorden signed a future/reserve contract with the Vikings on January 4, 2014,[9] and a full contract on March 1, 2014.[10] He was released prior to final roster cut down on August 25, 2014.[11][12]
Similar to a year prior, Jorden once again signed on with the Stampeders late in the2014 CFL season.[13] Jorden played in one game during the season, catching one pass for seven yards. In his second season in the league Jorden only played in two games, catching two passes for six yards. He was however a contributor in the Stamps pre-season games.[14] Jorden and the Stamps agreed to a contract extension on January 12, 2016.[15]
The2016 season would prove to be a breakout year for Jorden as he played in nine games catching 42 passes for 580 yards with three touchdowns. In two post-season contests, Jorden had a total of 10 receptions for 127 yards and a catch for a two-point convert. Set to become afree-agent he was re-signed by the Stamps again in early January 2017.[16] Jorden followed up his breakout 2016 season with a strong2017 campaign, despite missing eight games with injury: He caught 52 passes for 717 yards with six touchdowns. He had a very strong performance in the playoffs as well, catching 12 passes for 228 yards and one touchdown in two games. However, Jorden's fumble late in the105th Grey Cup game, returned 109 yards for an Argonaut touchdown, was arguably the turning point in a contest that found the Stampeders once again on the losing side.[17] On December 15, 2017, the Stamps announced they had agreed to a contract extension with Jorden.[18]
On August 25, 2018, Jordan set theStampeders record for most receiving yards in a single game with 249, surpassing the previous record of 237 byHerm Harrison.[19] Jordan had another exceptional season in2018 and was second in the league in receiving yards (944) in early September when it was announced he would miss the remainder of the season with atorn ACL.[20] Following the season, the Stamps and Jorden agreed to a two-year contract extension on January 18, 2019; which prevented him from becoming a free agent the following month.[21] However, he did not play during the2019 regular season due to the nature of his ACL injury and the recovery time.[22] He managed to return to play in the 2019 West Semi-Final playoff game where he recorded two catches for 15 yards in the loss to theWinnipeg Blue Bombers.[22] With the2020 CFL season cancelled, Jorden was scheduled to become a free agent in 2021, but he signed another contract extension with the Stampeders on January 8, 2021.[22]
Through the first six games of the2021 CFL season Jorden led the league in receptions and receiving yards, before leaving the team's Week 7 game with a hamstring injury.[23][24] Jordan returned to the active roster in Week 12.[25] On January 26, 2022, he signed another contract extension with the Stampeders.[26]
On September 9, 2022, he was placed on the 6-day injured list due to a thigh injury he suffered during a difficult2022 CFL Season.[27]
