The New York Jets will have one of the greatest quarterbacks this game has ever seen behind center next season.
Aaron Rodgers is the kind of quarterback who can make a good receiver look great, and even a not-so-good one look decent.
That’s why Sauce Gardner likes his chances against anybody.
In his latest appearance on Chris Long’s “Green Light” podcast, he predicted his stats if he decided to play wide receiver.

Gardner, who’s never lacked confidence, claimed that he would get at least 1,200 yards and eight touchdowns if he had Rodgers throwing him the football for 17 games.
He stated that he liked his chances and would be good regardless, but having Rodgers out there would only make it easier for him.
Well, if Gardner is half as good at wide receiver as he is at cornerback, perhaps these totals wouldn’t be out of the question for him.
He’s raising the bar for fellow WR Garrett Wilson, who’s expected to have a breakout season with Rodgers feeding him as his WR1.
Wilson has been elite despite his subpar quarterback situation, so it only makes sense that his numbers get a significant bump with a future first-ballot Hall of Famer lining up there as well.
The Jets are expected to be one of the most improved — if not the most improved — teams in the National Football League next season, and it’s nice to see that the confidence is at an all-time high among the players, even those on the other side of the field.
