Montez Sweat knew Bears coordinator Dennis Allen’s defense before he ever met him. Dayo Odeyingbo did, too. The reason: a 36-year-old defensive end who was drafted by the Saints before either of them were old enough to drive.
At 6-foot-4, 287 pounds, Cam Jordan has been the prototype for tall defensive ends for a generation. With 121 ½ sacks in 14 seasons and eight Pro Bowls to his name, he’ll be a candidate for the Pro Football Hall of Fame whenever he walks away from the Saints.
“Cam Jordan has always kind of been one of those premier pass rushers in the league,” Sweat said.
