Now there’s something you don’t see every day. Cameron Jordan performed a musical tribute to his old coach Sean Payton at the NFL Honors gala on Thursday night, advising his old coach to stay in the AFC. Complete with backup singers and a fantastic two-piece suit, the big New Orleans Saints defensive end took center stage and, for a time, turned the annual awards ceremony into more of a variety show.
Jordan crooned to the tune of Kelly Clarkson’s iconic single “Breakaway” — with a bemused Clarkson grinning nearby as the event’s emcee — and took a parting shot at Russell Wilson while bemoaning some of his bitter tweets towards Payton since he retired and un-retired to come back and coach the Denver Broncos. It’s just tremendous, and a great display of Jordan’s charisma. His big personality is going to serve him well once he’s ready to hang up his cleats and pursue a media career in earnest.
