10. OF Brian Jordan

Brian Jordan will go down as one of the best baseball player on this list. In his 14 seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals and Atlanta Braves, Jordan had a .284 batting average with 184 home runs and 821 runs batted in. He was a first round draft pick by the Cardinals in 1988, and he sure lived up to it.

Brian’s football career was not as big of a hit as his baseball career. He was a 7th round pick by the Buffalo Bills in the 1989 draft, but was cut in training camp.

He played defensive back for the Atlanta Falcons from 1989-1991 tallying up five interceptions and four sacks. The highlight of Jordan’s career was in the ’91 season, where he led the team in tackles and was voted as an alternate to the NFC Pro Bowl team.
