Jets have found their two undisputed leaders amid a miserable 2025

If you're a New York Jets fan, this season has felt more like clawing your eyes out than it has watching professional football. They aren't going to make the playoffs, and at this point, the most positive thing that can possibly happen is the head coach keeps his job. But there is a silver lining developing while chaos ensues.

In many ways, Sauce Gardner has been a disappointment as a leader. His post-game comments continue to deflect blame, something a leader should not do.

Up until recent weeks, he's been one of the team's best players for multiple seasons.
