Chatham’s Ethan Jordan was picked in Tuesday’s CFL draft. He was chosen by the Ottawa Redblacks in the sixth round, 51st overall.

Jordan had a stellar career with the Wilfred Laurier Golden Hawls, catching 243 passes for 3,274 yards and 27 touchdowns during his university career. He was a U Sports all-Canadian receiver for the past three years. Prior to university, Jordan played for the Chatham-Kent Golden Hawks as a quarterback.

At the CFL combine held last month in Regina, Jordan had a 4.44 40-yard dash, making him one of the fastest tested players available in the draft.
