Saints Star Cam Jordan on Beating His Legendary Father’s Pro Bowl Appearances: “In My Whole Life He Has Been the 6-Time Pro Bowl Steve Jordan…. Well His Son’s Got Seven”

The NFL’s fun week is about to kick in, and the Saints star Cam Jordan will be a part of it. This will be his seventh Pro Bowl appearance in his 11-year career in the NFL as a defensive end. And just like that, he has now surpassed his legend father, Steve Jordan, in Pro Bowl counts. 

The six-time Pro Bowl tight end legend Steve Jordan may have boosted quite a lot about his achievements to his son Cameron, but the tables have turned this time. Cam Jordan, during his on-field interview at the Pro Bowl practice, revealed how his family would go by him outperforming his father in Pro Bowl appearances. 

“I feel like, in my whole life, he has been the six-time Pro Bowl Steve Jordan; you know, legendary tight end for the Minnesota Vikings,” Cam said. “And now it’s like you know, ‘well his son’s got seven.’ I’m gonna let other people do the talking. I’m just gonna, you know, smiling back like oh, no, it’s for all of us.”

Cam further mentioned what his family gatherings would now look like. Talking about Thanksgiving dinners, he stated that his family would now be a little more inclined towards him. “This upcoming Thanksgiving,” he added. “The other someone’s be like ‘man, somebody get Turkey legs for pops. But maybe for Cam.’ It’s gonna be subtle.”

Cam, will now surely go toe to toe with his father, especially since he has broken his father’s milestone. Steve Jordan, the legendary Vikings tight end, played for 13 seasons in the NFL (1982-1994).

For his exceptional playmaking abilities and phenomenal athleticism, his name is on the list of the 50 greatest Vikings of all time. The 61-year-old still holds the Vikings’ all-time single-game receiving record for tight ends.

However, Cameron Jordan does not shy away from going past his father when it comes to achievements. He has not only made seven Pro Bowl appearances but has also been named in the first-team All-Pro once and has also been named in the NFL 2010s All-Decade team. 

For now, the 32-year-old is very proud of himself to have lived up to his father’s expectations. And he will make everything count when he goes up against AFC.
