Congratulations are in order for Cameron Jordan. The New Orleans City Council will declare May 8 "Cam Jordan Day" in recognition to his contributions to the city in his 14-year career with the Saints. The occasion will be marked with an event from the City Council on Thursday, May 8 at 9 a.m. CT.
Jordan, who turns 36 in July, has earned his place as one of the greatest players in franchise history. He owns the Saints' official all-time sacks record with 6.5 more takedowns than Rickey Jackson had before he went into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He's three games away from breaking the record Drew Brees set for the most games played in black and gold.
And his efforts to be a good citizen and make a positive impact on the community are even greater. Every week, usually on Tuesdays during the season when players have a day off from practice, Jordan has visited a local school in the New Orleans area to speak with students and offer words of encouragement. He's used his platform to reach out to thousands of young fans over the years. That's commendable.
So now he's getting some well-deserved recognition from the city. Good for him. Maybe in a few years after retirement he'll start making these appearances while wearing a gold jacket.
