With their first selection in the 2022 NFL draft – a crucial one for the franchise – the New York Jets selected ultra-talented cornerback Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner out of Cincinnati.
The 21-year-old Gardner was one of the few blue-chip, elite prospects in this class. He has all of the tools to become one of the best corners in the NFL.
The selection of Gardner completed an overhaul to the Jets’ cornerback group this offseason. With the selection of Gardner and the signing of D.J. Reed in free agency, the Jets now have two high-level starters at a premium position.
