Saints’ Cameron Jordan shares incredible Browns draft story

Cameron Jordan

Many Cleveland Browns stories seem too good to be true, but New Orleans Saints defensive lineman Cameron Jordan swears this is a real one.

Appearing on Wednesday’s edition of The Dan Patrick Show, Jordan said the Browns tried to draft him on the second day of the 2011 NFL Draft — despite the fact that the Saints had already selected him in the first round.

Jordan claims he received a phone call from the Browns during the second day of the draft, where he was told he was going to be their next pick. He had already gone 24th overall to the New Orleans Saints the previous day. In reality, they were attempting to take tight end Jordan Cameron in the fourth round.

“I’ll take two signing bonuses, but I refuse to go to Cleveland,” Jordan said succinctly in recounting the story.

This happened under the team’s previous ownership, but a quote allegedly from the team’s current owner really sums things up nicely here. It’s a legendary Browns story if true.
