Despite deep ties to Vikings, Cameron Jordan a Saint first and foremost

New Orleans Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan was born in Minnesota, but he doesn't have too many memories from the six years he lived in the Twin Cities.

He remembers a time when it was so cold that he was locked out of a car and has another memory of jumping in some leaves on a fall day. He also recalls going into the Minnesota Vikings locker room and meeting his father's co-workers, legendary football players like defensive Chris Doleman, safety Joey Browner and running back Darrin Nelson.

Jordan's father, Steve, was a legend in his own right, making the Pro Bowl six times in his 13-year career as a tight end.
