In Bill Belichicks Wednesdays news conference he complimented a list of New Orleans Saints players and coaches ahead of this week's game. He spent a little extra time talking about Cam Jordan.

"Jordan is one of the players I have the most respect for in the league. He's been a great player for a very long time, very durable, whatever it was--177 straight games he played. This guy shows up every week and plays well, run, pass, situational football, really smart player. This guy's a great player."

When asked what is was about Jordan that earned him so much respect he replied, "His consistency, his durability. He's play after play production."

Cam Jordan has 8 Pro Bowl selections in 13 seasons to go with 116 career sacks and a spot on the Hall of Fame's All-2010s Team. Still, it might not be a stretch to say he's been overlooked. He's been an All-Pro just once, he's produced double-digit sacks in six seasons but never led the league and he's been a standout on a Saints team that for so much of his tenure was known for its Drew Brees-led offense. But Belichick has noticed him, particularly his greatness.
