FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Sauce Gardner is one of the NFL's best at shutting down wide receivers. The New York Jets cornerback found trying to ace another sport a bit tougher this summer.
The two-time All-Pro picked up some golf clubs and hit the course during the offseason after getting the itch to play after having some fun during a University of Cincinnati alumni outing last year.
And let's just say it wasn't quite the same as swinging at driving ranges and golf simulators.
"Man, every time I hear the word, 'golf,' I don't know," a smiling Gardner said Wednesday after the Jets' first practice of training camp.
