You know exactly what you're getting with Cam Jordan. Through most of his career, he's been one of the New Orleans Saints' best defenders, and he's always going to be one of the biggest personalities. Changing his hairstyle for training camp has become an annual tradition that no one predict.
We may never know what Jordan is going to look like, but we know it isn't going to be what he looked like last year. This year, Jordan went with the blonde look. Believe it or not, this is one of Jordan's more tame looks throughout the years.

World Cup inspired Cam Jordan's Saints headshot
We've seen Jordan a few times this offseason, and this was not the look he was sporting. He had made the decision to chop off his gray braids, which were inspired by Game of Thrones, in favor of a low cut. It appeared this was going to be Jordan's look in Year 16 until he threw us a late curveball.
One of the times Jordan was spotted was during the World Cup, and that's exactly what inspired Jordan's latest creative expression. French soccer player Paul Pogba has rocked the fade with the blonde up top, and that's where Jordan got the look from.
Jordan told NOLA.com's Rod Walker, “The World Cup just happened. “My man Paul Pogba was one of my favorite guys in the 2018 World Cup, so it started there."
The World Cup was the start of the decision, but Pogba wasn't Jordan's only inspiration to go blonde. He also decided to channel his inner Wesley Snipes from Demolition Man after watching the movie recently.
"I was watching the movie 'Demolition Man' the other night. That cemented it," Jordan said before revealing his inner monologue. "I said, ‘You know what?’ Let’s have some fun with it.'”
In Jordan's last season, Simon says, "10 sacks."
