  • After back-to-back monster games in Weeks 4 and 6 sandwiched around the team’s bye, New Orleans Saints edge defender Cameron Jordan now is the top-graded edge defender on the season with an overall grade of 92.7. Over those two weeks he has racked up 13 total pressures including three sacks as well as five stops.
  • Jordan has been his usual self, rushing the passer this season earning the third-highest pass-rush grade at 89.2. His 11.8 pass-rush productivity ranks seventh among 4-3 defensive ends as he has produced 26 total pressures on 185 pass-rush snaps.
  • Defending the run is another strength of Jordan’s, which makes his overall game so impressive. His 89.5 run-defense grade ranks fourth among edge defenders. He has produced eight run-stops on 106 run-defense snaps. (A stop constitutes a tackle resulting in an offensive failure.)
