So nothing close to the trench battle that is an NFL OLine facing an NFL DLine.

So a part from his body, athleticism and ability to take and give big hits, Jordan is pretty much starting from scratch.

I don't know enough about Rugby (JR should chime in), but a true NT who mainly needs to learn the snap, and eating up space seems a simpler transition then learning techniques of blocking the best pass rushers in the league. That said, I would not mind having him learn under Callahan if that was the way they went. He is definitely a project not a short term solution.

Then I see what you mean.
But maybe with his athleticism and speed (relatively to his size and weight) he and the people advising him thought it would be a waste to stick him to pushing people back.
We'll see, anyway we're not the only team giving a look so he may end up on somebody else's practice squad...
