When thinking of the New York Jets and cornerbacks, Darrelle Revis is the household name that comes to mind. While comparisons between the two came quick, it’s another Jets corner that Sauce Gardner reminds me of most. That man is Antonio Cromartie.
Like Gardner, Cromartie was a first-round pick. Cro was selected by the then-San Diego Chargers in the 2006 NFL draft. Gardner and Cromartie also have similar athletic profiles, each boasting a combination of length and speed.
The two play the position with such similarity that Gardner could be mistaken as his clone.
