Jordan Herdman discusses how playing in the Senior Bowl last year helped him. He also talks about his twin brother winning the Grey Cup with the Argos.

He parlayed his Senior Bowl experience into springtime workouts with the Kansas City Chiefs and Detroit Lions. ...
Along with impressing those important onlookers, another big perk of suiting up in Mobile is the chance to test your skills against some of the top talent the NCAA has to offer. Herdman’s teammates included Chiefs’ running back Kareem Hunt, Philadelphia Eagles’ running back Corey Clement and receiver Trent Taylor, now with the San Francisco 49ers. The quarterback contingent in that game included the Buffalo Bills’ Nathan Peterman and future Pittsburgh Steelers’ draft pick Josh Dobbs.
Imagine being a quiet, humble kid from the Burnaby Mountain campus surrounded by all of that talent in a football-mad environment like Alabama.
“You can tell football is just religion down there,” he said. ...
To say the experience paid off for Herdman would be an understatement. The club’s seventh-round draft choice recorded 19 special teams tackles in his rookie season, second only to Chandler Fenner. He also was known for being one of the more tenacious members of the special teams coverage unit. Now comes the task of increasing that output in year two. ...

“I’m definitely excited and I expect a lot from myself this coming year,” Herdman stated.
“I want to prove it each year and have high hopes for every season.”
The fact his twin brother Justin earned a Grey Cup championship in his rookie season with the Toronto Argonauts is all the motivation he needs these days.
“Yeah he is definitely happy about that and has bragged a couple times about getting his ring,” Jordan chuckled.
“I’m happy for him. A lot of guys go their whole career without winning one. I was so happy for him. That’s the goal every year, to get to that Grey Cup. I am just as hungry as I was last year to get it. I’m just going to do what I can to put the work in so I can be ready when the season comes.”
