Do the New York Jets have the best cornerback in the NFL?
If you ask Pro Football Focus, Sauce Gardner is the best cornerback in the league. Gardner was yet again graded as the NFL’s best cornerback when sorting through the top 32 players at the position.
“Gardner’s 91.9 PFF coverage grade since 2022 leads the league,” PFF’s John Kosko wrote. “He has forced a league-high 46 incompletions and allowed a league-low 0.60 yards per cover snap and 21.4% first-down-plus-touchdown rate over that span.
“Unsurprisingly, Gardner’s PFF advanced coverage grade ranks first, as well.
