Jordan was drafted by the New Orleans Saints in the first round (24th overall) of the 2011 NFL Draft. He has been selected as a team captain nine times and been selected to eight Pro Bowls, the most for a defensive player in franchise history and second overall.

In addition to his contributions on the field, Jordan actively gives back to the New Orleans community. Founded to create positive change in children’s lives and better the community, The Cam Jordan Foundation partners with organizations like the Youth Empowerment Project and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. It focuses on providing resources, youth development initiatives, and hosting innovative experiences to foster growth and opportunity for young people. In addition to annual turkey giveaways and back to school supply donations, Jordan’s foundation also hosts youth sports camps for underserved children.

Jordan also just recently donated $25,000 to the New Orleans New Year’s Day Tragedy Fund, which was established to assist the victims and survivors of the 2025 New Year’s Day tragedy in the French Quarter that killed 14 people and injured dozens more.

Corwin Anthony, Executive Director of the Super Bowl Breakfast said, “Cam Jordan exemplifies excellence of character and integrity both on and off the football field. These character qualities, and his heart and passion for giving back to the New Orleans community, align with the mission and legacy of the late Bart Starr.”
