NFL Draft 2011: Cameron Jordan Or Jordan Cameron?

While writing some 2011 NFL draft stuff last week I noticed at one point in the draft that there was a unique set of names: Cameron Jordan and Jordan Cameron.

Cameron Jordan is the California defensive end that ended up being the New Orleans Saints first round pick. He's pretty well known. Jordan Cameron is a tight end out of USC and was a late round pick by the Cleveland Browns. He's considerably less known.

The Browns drafted Jordan Cameron -- not Cameron Jordan -- but had some trouble getting in touch with him because...they called the wrong person.

“Hi,” said the voice on the other end. “Jordan? This is the Cleveland Browns ... ” The call was for some biographical information.

“Uh, yeah, this is Cameron Jordan,” he said. “But the Saints already picked me.”

Yes, the Browns eventually found the right Jordan Cameron.
