Okay, so I’ve been glued to the TV lately, binge-watching “All American,” and I gotta tell you, Jordan Baker’s storyline has me on the edge of my seat. I mean, the dude’s a talented quarterback, but will he make it to the NFL? That’s the million-dollar question, right?
I started digging into this like a madman. First, I rewatched a bunch of episodes. I focused on season 5, episode 7, because I remembered that was a big one for Jordan. And yep, there it was – he decides to transfer schools, all to boost his chances of going pro. Smart move, I thought, but also risky.
Then I hit the internet, you know, forums, articles, the whole nine yards. Turns out, Jordan Baker isn’t even a real person! He’s a character based on Spencer Paysinger, a former NFL player. That blew my mind a little, but it also made sense. They had to create some drama for the show, right?
Here’s where it gets interesting. I found this interview where the actor who plays Jordan, says that Jordan’s leaving his old college but not the show. Phew, that’s a relief! But it also means his path to the NFL is still up in the air.
- Watched episodes: I spent hours analyzing Jordan’s plays, his decisions, everything.
- Scoured the internet: Forums, fan pages, you name it. I was on a mission.
- Dug up an interview: Found some juicy info about Jordan’s future on the show.
Now, in season 6, things get even more intense. I saw Spencer enter the NFL draft, but Jordan? He’s all about getting married and focusing on college. Kinda makes you wonder if he’s given up on the NFL dream. But then, BAM! He gets a coaching job offer at South Crenshaw High. Just like his dad! Is this a new path for him? Maybe he realizes he can help others achieve their NFL dreams, even if he doesn’t make it there himself.
I even found out about Spencer James, the other main character. Turns out he gets drafted by the New York Bobcats in the show. But the real Spencer, Spencer Paysinger? He wasn’t drafted. He signed with the New York Giants as an undrafted free agent. See, the show plays around with reality a bit.
Oh, and one more thing – did you know Jordan Baker’s name might be inspired by a golfer from “The Great Gatsby”? Apparently, there’s a character named Jordan Baker in the book, and she’s a pro golfer. Some folks think the show’s creators took inspiration from her. Wild, right?
So, after all this digging, what’s the verdict? Honestly, I still don’t know if Jordan Baker will make it to the NFL. But that’s what makes the show so good! It keeps you guessing. It keeps you rooting for him. And hey, even if he doesn’t become a pro player, he’s still finding his own path, his own way to shine. And that’s pretty darn cool, if you ask me.
My final thought?
Jordan’s journey is a rollercoaster, and I’m here for the ride. Whether he makes it to the NFL or not, I’m excited to see what happens next. That’s all for now, folks. I need to catch up on the latest episode!
