What happened: A recent assessment of the New Orleans Saints labeled Cameron Jordan as the face of the franchise alongside their legendary former quarterback. The defensive end recently opened the NFL Top 100 of 2026 at number 100 as he prepares for the upcoming season.

Why it matters: His sustained excellence over more than a decade validates that lofty status. Racking up franchise records and providing elite pass rushing through multiple coaching regimes makes him the best defensive player to ever wear the uniform.
