LaMont Damon Jordan (born November 11, 1978) is an American former professional football player who was a running back in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Maryland Terrapins and was selected by the New York Jets in the second round of the 2001 NFL draft. Jordan also played in the NFL for the Oakland Raiders, New England Patriots and Denver Broncos.^[1] After his playing career, he was the running backs coach for the San Diego Fleet of the Alliance of American Football (AAF) in 2019.

Early years

Jordan graduated from Suitland High School in 1997. A highly sought-after area prospect, he won many awards in high school, and played football and baseball, and was a member of the school's swimming and track teams.

College career

He attended the University of Maryland, College Park, and as a freshman, gained notice as a first-string player, and finished as runner-up for Rookie of the Year in the Atlantic Coast Conference. As a sophomore, he was named to the second-team All-ACC, and was named by Maryland as the team's most outstanding offensive player. As a junior, he began to gain national notice, and was a semifinalist for the Doak Walker Award. In the same year, he was named to the All-ACC first-team, and surpassed Maryland's single-season rushing record. That season, he gained over six yards per carry, one of only four NCAA players to do so. He was the NCAA rushing leader over the last six games of his junior season. He sat out the drills preceding the 2000 season due to fears of academic ineligibility, and, having a somewhat lackluster senior year, was named to the ACC second-team.

Professional career

New York Jets

Jordan was drafted in the second round of the 2001 NFL draft by the New York Jets.^[2] Jordan spent his first four years as a backup to Curtis Martin before becoming a free agent.

On November 19, 2006, Jordan tore his medial collateral ligament in a game against the Kansas City Chiefs and missed the rest of the season. Jordan started the 2007 season with 350 yards rushing and two touchdowns in the first three games. He injured his back against the Miami Dolphins and was replaced by Justin Fargas. Fargas was productive and was named the starter for the next four games. On July 25, 2008 Jordan was released by the Raiders.

New England Patriots

On July 26, 2008, Jordan signed a one-year contract with the New England Patriots.

Denver Broncos
