Sauce Gardner is one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL. In his rookie season, he was named a Pro Bowler and won Defensive Rookie of the Year. He was also the first rookie since 1981 to be named a First-Team All-Pro.

He led the league with 20 pass deflections while combining for 75 tackles, two interceptions, three tackles for a loss and one quarterback hit.

In 2023, he followed by having another great season. His stats weren't as great, but for cornerbacks, it isn't all about the stat sheet. Garnder continued to have a lockdown presence, as he was named to his second-straight Pro Bowl and First-Team All-Pro selection.

Last season, when the New York Jets acquired Aaron Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers, many people thought they had a shot at making the playoffs and having a shot at a Super Bowl run.

Their hopes and aspirations quickly shattered when Rodgers' Achilles tore in the first five snaps of the season.

This season, the Jets have added many key pieces in the off-season. They've added a true No. 1 receiver for Rodgers in Mike Williams and beefed up their OL by signing Tyron Smith and acquiring John Simpson and Morgan Moses. They also picked Olu Fashanu in the first round of this year's draft.

With a healthy team and their new additions, the Jets could make a Super Bowl run this season and, at the very least, should be in the playoffs.
