NFL CAREER – Jordan enjoyed another successful campaign in 2022 starting all 16 games he appeared in and registering 66 tackles (40 solo), 8.5 sacks, 13 tackles for loss, 13 quarterback hits, two passes defensed and two forced fumbles. Jordan's eight Pro Bowl nods are the most for a defensive player in club history and second overall. His six consecutive selections trail only QB Drew Brees (seven from 2008-2014) and T Willie Roaf (seven from 1994-2000) for first in team record books.  He finished the season with 115.5 career sacks and holds the franchise record for takedowns. He is the first defensive lineman in team record books and second Saint overall to record at least 7.5 sacks in nine different seasons (LB Rickey Jackson: 1983-97, 1989, 1991-93), the only to do so in 11 straight campaigns and just the fourth player in franchise history to record at least six seasons with double-digit sack totals (12.5-2013, 10.0-2015, 13.0-2017, 12.0-2018, 15.5-2019, 12.5-2021), joining Jackson (six seasons) and DE Wayne Martin and LB Pat Swilling (five seasons). Jordan's 11 consecutive seasons of at least 7.5 sacks is the current longest streak in the National Football League and he joined Reggie White and John Randle as only the third NFL player to do so in at least 11 straight seasons since takedowns became an official statistic in 1982. He has registered multiple sacks in a game (1.5 or more) 27 times in his career, with 14 of those coming against teams from the NFC South (seven vs. Atlanta; five vs. Tampa Bay; two vs. Carolina). Jordan is one of only three defensive linemen to register at least 60 passes defensed since 2011. An explosive and physical defensive end, the former University of California standout possesses the combination of size, speed and strength to play end in either a 3-4 or 4-3. Jordan has appeared in 192 games with 191 starts, posting career totals of 732 stops (459 solo), 115.5 quarterback takedowns, two interceptions, 60 passes defensed, 15 forced fumbles, ten fumble recoveries and one blocked kick. He's also appeared in 11 (ten starts) career postseason games, tallying 42 tackles (32 solo), 5.5 sacks and five passes defensed, the club's all-time leader in quarterback takedowns in the playoffs.
