Why Jets fans should be excited about Ahmad ‘Sauce’ Gardner
The New York Jets had a great need at cornerback with the recent acquisitions of dominant receivers in their division, and they found an answer. The Jets had the best corner in the 2022 NFL draft fall into their lap, and they make the decision to add their next Darrelle Revis to the locker room.
Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner has great competitiveness, length, and physicality. His ability to lock down receivers remained unmatched in college, not giving up a single touchdown in his entire career. He is technically sound, and has the athleticism to make up for any lost steps. He will immediately provide a major upgrade at that position, and be their true lockdown corner.
He will slide in right away at CB1 for the Jets, an important position in that Robert Saleh defense. He will be the answer for the stud-filled passing game in the AFC East, and look to keep his no-touchdown streak going.
