New Orleans,LA – The New Orleans Saints All pro defensive end Cameron Jordan made an appearance on SiriusXM NFL Radio on Monday. Jordan, who is coming off an excellent year in which he compiled 15.5 sacks and a pro bowl appearance sees a lot of potential in his team.
Cam covered several topics and thoughts on this current rendition of the Saints. He also gave his thoughts on coming in to year ten and teams playoff hopes: “
Absolutely, I’m heading into year 10. I love it,” Jordan told hosts Brady Quinn and Kirk Morrison. “I’m super excited about it. You know, there’s nothing in me that is telling me that our team isn’t close to a championship or being a championship-caliber team if you look at the last three years. You know, playoffs, playoffs, playoffs. Playoffs, NFC Championship, playoffs. This is something that we have to capitalize on.”
“You talk about Drew [Brees] coming back, our addition of Jameis Winston. You talk about, you know, we lose Vonn Bell, we bring in Malcolm Jenkins. We go draft an outside linebacker in this Zack Baun kid. You know, Alex Anzalone going to be healthy. There’s so many positives on paper, I just want to get back to the field and really see what we have.”
Cam shared his thoughts on what former Tampa Bay Qb Jameis Winston could be, when paired with All Pro & future 1st ballad Hofer Qb Drew Brees this season.
“I mean, three years ago, we brought in Teddy [Bridgewater] and, you know, Teddy B. had sort of, you know, created his own thing,” Jordan recalled. “He was able to step in when Drew went down and went 5-0 when he was down. This year, you know, he goes off to Carolina, we bring in Jameis Winston. I don’t know if our window is minimizing. I think we’re maximizing everything we have on our table. Now, you know, you talk about Alvin Kamara, Mike [Thomas], guys who are electric playmakers who are young in their career, we’re going to capitalize on everything we can as a team.
“Again, so if Drew goes down, now we have Jameis, who you know can throw for over 4,000 yards. You know, can score touchdowns, who has the arm, and now is under, I would say, direct tutelage of one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game. So, you know, now, I’m believing the hype. When Jameis said, ‘Hey, you know, if I correct a couple interceptions, I’m going to be the greatest quarterback.’ Now, we have the exact tutelage to get him in that realm.”
The fun loving and energetic edge rusher is seen as one of the team leaders. The Saints are a loaded team and picked by many “experts” as a Superbowl participant in the upcoming year. The New Orleans Saints Training Camp is scheduled to open up on July 23rd for the rookies and July 28th for veterans.
