INDIANAPOLIS — Back in 2011, the New Orleans Saints got a piece of one of the richest harvests in the history of the NFL draft.
New Orleans snapped up defensive end Cameron Jordan with the 24th pick, landing a player who racked up 38 sacks over the past four seasons, made two Pro Bowls and earned the right to be the face of the Saints’ defense — a position he landed last summer by signing a five-year, $60-million extension.
Jordan is one of six defensive linemen taken in that draft who have made a Pro Bowl.
