Jets' Sauce Gardner eager for Aaron Rodgers to share 'secret gems'

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- A look at what's happening around the New York Jets:

1. Sauce on the menu: They dined at a swanky Italian restaurant in Greenwich Village, then sat together courtside at the Garden. It was just the two of them, Aaron Rodgers and Sauce Gardner -- an NFL icon and one of the game's young stars. In a tweet, Gardner jokingly referred to Rodgers as his "chaperone." They hung out for seven hours on Tuesday night, talking ball and life in New York.

Gardner came away from their night on the town more convinced than ever that Rodgers will help him become a better player, something he talked about during the long run-up to the blockbuster trade.
