One of the unsung heroes of those New Orleans Saints teams of the 1980s that finally began to win some games was fullback Buford Jordan, a former McNeese and USFL star that joined the team in 1986. He was never in the spotlight but remained a solid and consistent player for 7 years with the Saints. Here he carries against the Los Angeles Rams in 1988 at Anaheim Stadium. The game was a huge 14-10 upset of the Rams that finally showed the rest of the NFL that the Saints were contenders. Blocking for him in the foreground is center Steve Korte.
