Buford Jordan



Congratulations to former New Orleans Saints fullback Buford Jordan for being inducted to the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame. After setting the Louisiana college record for career rushing yards during his four years playing at McNeese State, Jordan starred in the USFL playing for the New Orleans and then Portland Breakers. After joining the NFL and the Saints in 1986, Jordan successfully served as chief blocking back in front of tailbacks Rueben Mayes and Dalton Hilliard as the Saints started approximating what a winning franchise should look like. Jordan was inducted last week to the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame along with fellow Whodat veterans Morten Andersen and Vaughan Johnson.
