Woah- maybe top 5 defensive players.

1- Brees
2- Rickey Jackson
3- Roaf
4- Colston
5- Sam Mills
6- Cam Jordan

I can make an argument that Morten Andersen and Archie could be ahead of him.

Cam’s numbers are due to longevity which is impressive but he was never the best DE in the league at any point in his career.

Love Colston, but Cam clears him easily. Cam was on the all-decade team for the 2010s at defensive end while Colston never made a pro bowl (though he should've).

He is not a one trick pony like some guys that can only rush the passer.

No offense to Roaf or Colston or Mills (and Mills is one of my all-time favorite NFL players) but Cam is above all of them. And IMO he's barely behind Rickey Jackson. Numbers are very close. The unbelievable one sack in his rookie year is the only thing keeping him from being second to only Brees for me.

No you can't. Don't be silly.

You can make the same argument about Drew. I personally wouldnt because I think this logic is flawed to begin with.
