Who Dat Nation, I think we’re all guilty of it.
We spend so much time talking about the future that we forget to appreciate the players who helped build the foundation.
That’s why Cam Jordan deserves a little attention today.
At 37 years old, Cam is back for another season in black and gold after signing a new one-year deal with the Saints. He’s also back in the NFL Top 100 after many people thought his best years were behind him.
Think about that for a second.
Sixteen seasons.
One franchise.
Countless big plays.
Countless battles with Atlanta.
And somehow he’s still here.
What stands out most isn’t the sacks anymore.
It’s the leadership.
You hear young players talk about him. You hear Tyler Shough talk about him. You hear veterans talk about him. Everybody points to Cam as one of the voices that sets the standard inside that locker room.
The Saints are getting younger.
Tyler Shough.
Jordyn Tyson.
Oscar Delp.
Christen Miller.
They’re all trying to figure out what it means to be a professional.
Having Cam Jordan around for that matters.
A lot.
Maybe this is his last ride.
Maybe it isn’t.
But one thing is certain:
When Cam Jordan finally hangs it up, Saints fans are going to realize how hard it is to replace a player who gave everything to this city and this organization for more than a decade.
For now, let’s enjoy one more season.
Because players like Cam Jordan don’t come around very often.
Who Dat.
