Saints' Jordan praises Roethlisberger, Newton for elusiveness

New Orleans Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan is among the best players at his position, but he even he admits to having trouble taking down Cam Newton and Ben Roethlisberger.

"And when I say that, they're just physically imposing. No matter where you hit them or how you hit them, somehow they can always have the ability to get the ball off - and ruin my stats! Why you gotta ruin my sack? I need that," Jordan told NFL.com's Tyler Horka in a candid interview.

The two-time Pro Bowler also doled out high praise to Von Miller for his athleticism and ability to attack the quarterback.

"His long-arm (move) is clearly tops, which allows him to be a 'super-finesser.' I like to say for every defensive end that has finesse, you want to also say he's also a speed-to-power guy," he said.

Jordan is anchoring the Saints' front seven heading into the upcoming season, looking to lead the club back to the playoffs for the first time since 2013.
