Fresh off their second loss of the season, the Indianapolis Colts made a rare midseason splash by trading for the New York Jets’ star cornerback Sauce Gardner at the deadline. The Colts have their eyes set on a deep playoff run, and the addition of Gardner is a massive boost.
The cornerback position has been a pain point for Indianapolis this season. Multiple injuries and an overdependence on unproven players have handicapped the Indianapolis pass defense. Gardner should be a huge upgrade over the Colts’ current defensive backs.
Every week, Gardner will have the all-important job of shutting down the opposing team’s best wide receiver.
