Cameron Jordan, DE

Cameron Jordan has been a perennial top-ten Saint for almost a decade. He is one of the longest standing in this list along with quarterback Drew Brees. Cameron Jordan joined the team in 2011 and has played his best football since then.

Over the course of those nine years, Jordan has had a total of five years with 10.0+ sacks in the season. This year, he is on pace for his sixth of his career. Right now, he is at 6.5 sacks on the year which is good for No. 2 on the team behind only Trey Hendrickson and 0.5 above David Onyemata.

Jordan also has 43 tackles which are good for No. 6 on the team; and out of those, he has 11 tackles for a loss which is good for No. 1 on the team. Jordan has been a consistent threat on the run and pass game for the opposing team.

With an end as good as Jordan, he makes opposing quarterbacks have to rework how they would normally do things. If his numbers keep up, he is on pace for almost 10 sacks and 15 tackles for a loss. Jordan is yet again in the top five on the team.
