Sauce Gardner had already gotten a contract offer from the New York Jets that would make him the NFL’s highest-paid cornerback when he received some more exciting news. He was working on a commercial last week when his marketing agent told him that teammate — and fellow 2022 first-round draft pick — Garrett Wilson also received a huge extension.

Jets star Sauce Gardner said critics of his record-setting extension are blowing last year's performance out of proportion and expressed confidence in his talent.
