Jets’ Sauce Gardner cracks CBS Sports’ top-100 NFL players in 2025
The New York Jets are turning the page in 2025 but CBS Sports sees one building block on the roster and it’s Sauce Gardner.
The cornerback was the lone Jets player named to the outlet’s top-100 players heading into the 2025 NFL season.
Overall, Gardner landed at No. 24. Gardner is the second-ranked corner behind the Denver Broncos’ Patrick Surtain II at ninth.
Gardner, 24, was one of New York’s first-round picks in 2022. He went on to earn the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and two first-team, All-Pro nods.
The player and team are talking an extension and those conversations seem positive. However, New York would feel most comfortable seeing pen-to-paper happen soon.
CBS Sports’ breakdown on Gardner can be found below:
Gardner’s play fell off some in 2024, much like a lot of Jets, but it didn’t fall that much. He needs to tackle better at times, but there is no doubt he is an outstanding cover corner. (Last season: No. 12)
