HOUSTON – The Texans tight end room is a very young group, led by the second-year duo of Jordan Thomas and Jordan Akins.
They were each part of the team’s 2018 draft class, in which Akins selected in the third round (98th overall) and Thomas was selected in the sixth round (211th overall).
The two were referred to as The Jordans as they met with the media together following Wednesday’s minicamp workout. It’s very clear they get along well, push each other to be better and are very competitive when it comes to just about everything.

From TopGolf to Madden to baseball, the competition clearly doesn’t stop for the Jordans.
