2022 NFL Draft preview: CB Ahmad 'Sauce' Gardner could make Cincinnati draft history

Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner can do things on a football field that a coach simply can't teach. It's that quality that earned him his nickname. It's also the quality that could make him the highest-drafted player in the history of the University of Cincinnati program.

The consensus All-American cornerback is projected to be selected as high as No. 2 overall Thursday in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft. If Gardner is a top-four pick, he'll make Cincinnati draft history.
