The New Orleans Saints are more than happy that they selected eventual four-time Pro Bowler Cameron Jordan in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft.
Jordan remains one of the best defensive ends in the entire league. How good is he? Two teams called Jordan up during the draft to say they were drafting him. Unfortunately for the Cleveland Browns, that came one day after the Saints selected him No. 24 overall.
This is some hilarious stuff.

To be fair, it seems that Cleveland simply dialed the wrong number or got the names mixed up. The team eventually selected tight end Jordan Cameron in the fourth round of the draft.
Even then, this shows us the ineptitude of previous Browns front offices. The good news? It seems this has changed under new general manager John Dorsey. The Browns are coming off their best season (7-8-1) since all the way back in 2007.
