Fewer players have entered the NFL in recent memory with more confidence than Sauce Gardner.
After being taken with the No. 4 pick by the New York Jets in the 2022 NFL Draft, Gardner’s rookie year lived up to the hype.
He won the Defensive Rookie of the Year award, earned a spot as a first-team All-Pro member, and made the Pro Bowl as well.
Gardner has recently announced another achievement, this time an off-field accomplishment.
In a recent tweet, Gardner expressed his excitement for recently graduating college.
I really graduate college next Friday

Gardner attended the University of Cincinnati for three seasons, making a name for himself as a top defender.
Because he left early, however, this didn’t give him time to graduate.
Gardner has been working hard in the offseason and will officially graduate from Cincinnati.
With a newly printed diploma, Gardner will focus on the 2023 season as the Jets are in the thick of training camp.
Many across the league have noted Gardner’s list of personal accomplishments, resulting in the Jets having one of the NFL’s top defenses.
While they were lauded for their strong defense, the Jets offense was a massive problem during the 2022 campaign.
This resulted in the team missing the playoffs for the 12th straight year.
After bringing in Aaron Rodgers, the team will aim to remedy those woes, having an improved year on both sides of the ball.
Will Gardner’s greatness continue as he seeks to continue his search for being the league’s most outstanding defensive back?
If he can dominate his opponents, the Jets might just be able to break this drought.
