Jorge Cordova (born September 25, 1981) is an American football player who currently plays linebacker for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Although he is primarily a linebacker, he is also skilled at the defensive end position.
Cordova was an impressive defensive prospect from the University of Nevada, totaling 311 tackles with 29.5 sacks, 44 stops for losses, 10 quarterback pressures, five fumble recoveries, eight forced fumbles, seven pass deflections and two blocked kicks in 42 games.
Cordova was drafted in the 2004 NFL Draft by the Jaguars, but tore his ACL during training camp and was placed on injured reserve. In 2005, he showed great promise during the preseason with five tackles, but aggravated his injury and was against placed on injured reserve.
In the 2006 season, Cordova finally made his first career NFL start. Halfway through the game, he was moved from the linebacker position to defensive end to replace the injured Reggie Hayward, and he may move up to the starting roster for the rest of the season.
