METAIRIE, La. -- The night Cameron Jordan found out he had been selected to his third Pro Bowl, one of his first comments was, “Halfway to my dad.”
Steve Jordan set an awfully high standard as a six-time Pro Bowl tight end for the Minnesota Vikings from 1982-1994. But on Sunday, he’ll be the proud papa who is probably apologizing to fans around him in Minnesota’s U.S. Bank Stadium for the way his 6-foot-4, 287-pound son is wreaking havoc on his former team.
Cam has been a great player in the NFL for a while now, but he went into monster mode for the New Orleans Saints this season, being named a first-team All-Pro for the first time with 13 sacks and 11-12 pass defenses.
