NY Jets: Sauce Gardner’s dominance stems from an unnoticed skill

New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner only needed one season to establish himself as the best player in the world at his position. Gardner led all cornerbacks with 43 first-place votes (out of a possible 50) in the AP All-Pro voting, more than twice as many as second-ranked Patrick Surtain II (20).

Gardner showcased a variety of dazzling skills in his mesmerizing debut campaign. In particular, there are three signature skills that Jets fans grew to expect from Gardner on a weekly basis.

For one, Gardner’s ability to break up contested passes was undoubtedly the most notable weapon in his toolbox.
