Well, no one ever said that New York Jets CB Sauce Gardner lacks confidence. No, sir.
It was fairly obvious from the predraft talk when he boldly proclaimed himself the best prospect in the draft.
It only became more so throughout the season. Although Sauce did not get into it with specific players on Twitter, unlike a certain soon-to-be-Hall-of-Famer who shall not be named, he made clear how important the accolades are to him.
Now, on the cusp of likely sweeping his rookie dreams—Pro Bowler, first-team All-Pro, and Defensive Rookie of the Year—Sauce found himself in Vegas with people who like to take rookies down a peg or two.
