Cameron Jordan had a career year with the New Orleans Saints in 2019, just months after he signed a hefty contract extension securing his ties with the team through 2023. Jordan logged a personal-best 15.5 sacks in 16 regular season games (plus another takedown in the playoffs), and you can watch all of them in the supercut shared by the NFL’s official Twitter account, which we’ve embedded below.
Beyond the immediate impact of all those highlight reel-worthy plays, Jordan’s sacks in 2019 caused his career total to rise to second-best in Saints history (87). The only player left for him to pass is Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee Rickey Jackson, whose 115 career sacks are the most of any player to ever put on the black and gold.
Two important factors suggest that Jordan may reach that lofty goal. He just turned 30 last summer, putting him squarely in the prime of his playing career. The big defensive end has also bagged 12 or more sacks in each of the last three seasons, with little signs of slowing down. If he can keep up that pace, Jordan will be flirting with Jackson’s all-time record by 2022, when he’ll be 33. And it shouldn’t shock anyone if he end sup meeting it ahead of schedule.
A career-high 15.5 sacks for @camjordan94 in 2019.
