WATCH: Highlights from New Orleans City Council's 'Cam Jordan Day' celebration
The New Orleans City Council celebrated Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan on Thursday, naming May 8 "Cam Jordan Day" in recognition of his achievements on the football field and his dedication to the community. The Edna Karr High School band greeted Jordan and his family as they arrived. Inside the City Council Chambers, Saints owner Gayle Benson welcomed Jordan and delivered a speech celebrating his accomplishments in the NFL, like the team sacks record; she made sure to emphasize Jordan's 23 sacks against former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan, his longtime rival. Jordan's former teammate and fellow 2011 draftee Mark Ingram II narrated a video highlighting Jordan's work in the community visiting schools and leading fundraisers for charitable causes. Several familiar faces were in attendance including Craig Robertson, who was a team captain with Jordan from 2017 to 2020. Advertisement "Being in New Orleans, you catch the feeling, you catch the vibe. It's so hard not to want to be a part of it," Jordan said in a speech of his own. He gave credit to other old teammates like Will Smith and Thomas Morstead as veterans who showed him everything great about the city and community he was joining. Remember the line from Drew Brees? If you love New Orleans, New Orleans will love you back. Jordan will suit up for the Saints for maybe the final time in 2025. He's embraced the city throughout his career, and now he's getting the recognition he deserves.
