New Orleans Saints, defensive lineman Cameron Jordan working on contract extension

Maybe I remember this wrong, but didn't Jordan play in a 3-4 defense in college?

At least I remember people saying that he would fit better in the Saints' defense after the signs indicated that they were moving towards a 3-4 look from GG's 4-3.

He did indeed... And he would probably dominate on a regular basis if he played most of his snaps at the 5 technique. Unfortunately though he's spent the vast majority of his pro career lined up at left DE in 4 man fronts even though we've supposedly been a 3-4 defense for two years.

Yes Sir you are correct. Cam was a 3-4 5 Technique at Cal. And a darn good one, good enough that Bill Belicheck and The Patriots were looking at him if we didn't draft him.
