He slowly got dressed and tiptoed out of his room, careful not to wake his sleeping brother. JT made his way to the living room, grabbed his cleats, and silently opened the front door. After he slipped out, he saw his breath hang in the crisp morning air. He ambled to the park near his house and laced up his cleats. Jordan drilled to improve his speed and stamina until he lost track of time. Finally, after what seemed like hours of running, he collapsed to the ground, exhausted. His breath was heavy and beads of sweat formulated on his forehead. Jordan’s legs burned and his throat was sore from the cold air, but he knew it was worth it. It was worth it because one day he was going to fulfill his life goal. Jordan Tolliver was going to play pro-ball one day.]]> 2019-10-01 16:35:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jziacik/xto07zzs2cy/wish/392003082 jziacik https://padlet.com/jziacik/xto07zzs2cy/wish/392004599 Jordan Tolliver was born in Salisbury, Maryland on November 5, 2000.

He was then taken in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft by his hometown Baltimore Ravens. His second year in the NFL, during week two, the starting safety went up for an interception and came down on his leg the wrong way and was out for the season. The second-string safety was out with the flu, so Jordan had his first chance to make his name known. On the first defensive set, he did a little bit of everything. Jordan had a deflection, he blitzed for a sack and finally to cap it off he had an interception in their own RedZone. The interception set up the game tying field goal and a Baltimore won in OT. From that moment on that defense was his and everyone knew it. ]]> 2019-10-03 00:10:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jziacik/xto07zzs2cy/wish/392783415 jziacik https://padlet.com/jziacik/xto07zzs2cy/wish/392784654 Jordan appeared in seven Pro-Bowls and won a Super Bowl with the Ravens. After ten electric years in the NFL, he retired at the age of thirty-four. Post-retirement, Jordan spent most his time with his family and traveled the world a lot. In 2034, Jordan and his wife traveled to Nepal and climbed to the summit of Mount Everest. His proudest moment was being able to take care of his mother after he entered the NFL.]]> 2019-10-03 00:17:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jziacik/xto07zzs2cy/wish/392784654 jziacik https://padlet.com/jziacik/xto07zzs2cy/wish/392784989 In the Fall of 2027 Jordan married his longtime girlfriend and had his first child, Jazmyn, two years later. After another two years, he had a son, Jordan Junior. JT’s biggest challenge was fighting through the adversities of his childhood and accomplishing his life goal in spite of them. ]]> 2019-10-03 00:19:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jziacik/xto07zzs2cy/wish/392784989 jziacik https://padlet.com/jziacik/xto07zzs2cy/wish/392785630 JT running off the field after the final seconds of the Super Bowl. ]]> 2019-10-03 00:22:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jziacik/xto07zzs2cy/wish/392785630 jziacik https://padlet.com/jziacik/xto07zzs2cy/wish/392788104 JT graduates high school.]]> 2019-10-03 00:34:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jziacik/xto07zzs2cy/wish/392788104
