Cam Newton on rivalry with Cam Jordan: 'We have a respectful dislike of each other'

Division rivalries are often most intense when they’re one-sided.

The rivalry between the Panthers and the Saints qualifies right now. New Orleans swept Carolina in three meetings in 2017 and has won four of five overall.

This particular NFC South rivalry is best exemplified by the friendly animosity between Cam Newton and Cam Jordan.

Picked in the same draft class and round seven years ago, the two have been intertwined ever since, often literally. Jordan has collected eight sacks and 15 quarterback hits in 14 career meetings with the Panthers.

Apparently, he also sent a broom to Newton when the Saints won their third matchup of last season in the playoffs.
