65. Cameron Jordan
Jordan is a couple of good seasons away from claiming the Saints’ record for career sacks, trailing only Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee Rickey Jackson (115). Jordan has put in the work to develop his craft after a quiet rookie season way back in 2011, climbing the ladder to put 87 sacks on his name. He’s still young enough to continue playing at an elite level and should anchor the Saints defense for years to come.
One of the most underrated players in the league, Jordan has had an incredible career as an edge defender despite playing in a “tweener” body that many would have liked to see on the interior. Even at 287 pounds, Jordan challenges offensive tackles on the edge as a pass-rusher, grading at 82.0 or better in each of the last four seasons while annually ranking as one of the league’s best run defenders. The other impressive part of Jordan’s game is his durability, as he’s played at least 950 snaps every year since 2011 while playing over 1,000 five times when you include the playoffs.
