Cameron
Jordan

Among the final holdovers from the 2011 NFL Draft, Jordan is still getting things done at a star level. While sticking with the Saints, the team that tabbed him 24th overall, the edge-rusher has long since rounded into a yearly Pro Bowl pick and one of the most respected veterans in the game.

Over their first six decades, the Saints drafted more than three dozen defensive ends. None had the impact of Jordan, the 24th overall selection in 2011. The Chandler, Ariz., native and Cal product became the franchise\'s sack leader in his 12th season, and he surpassed 200 games played for New Orleans in 2023.

Cameron is a dominant, versatile pass rusher known for his powerful technique and relentless motor. A cornerstone of the Saints' defense, he excels both in the pass and run game. Jordan continues strength, leverage and savvy hand usage to consistently make He entered 2025 with eight Pro Bowls — the most ever for a defensive player in franchise history.

Entering his 15th season in New Orleans, Jordan has come to fore representing the team off the field as much as strapping on the pads. "The community work that I do here is a part of me," he told the eight-time Pro Bowl pick said. "It's such a big part of me … at the end of the day, this is where I want to be."

There's not a team Jordan enjoys playing more than the Falcons. That rang true in Week 10 of 2024, when the longtime Saints star logged a sack in a 20-17 win. That marked his 24th career QB takedown against the division foe, the most he has recorded against any team with Tampa Bay (17) being a distant second.

An eight-time Pro Bowl DE, Jordan always seems to come through when it matters most. Like in Week 10 of 2024. Playing in interim coach Darren Rizzi's debut, he helped the Saints deliver an emotional win over division rival Atlanta. His huge fourth-quarter sack of Kirk Cousins was a pivotal moment in a 30-27 victory.
