After winning NFL’s Defensive Rookie of the Year and earning 1st Team All Pro rankings in his debut season, Sauce Gardner is looking to get back with his team and become a leader not just on the field but one outside of football through his work ethic and lifestyle.
With an unprecedented rookie year for the Jets cornerback and the first rookie in 41 years to make 1st team All-Pro, Sauce attributes his playmaking abilities and consistency to playing the game with passion and focus. With a young roster full of grit, Sauce said the team is more motivated and committed to winning after coming up short last year and putting the pieces in place for that success.
Being one of the core people who helped draw the attention of Aaron Rodgers to New York, Sauce has developed a close bond with the quarterback and talks how being in the Jets’ locker room has made him feel young again and the team is ready to make a Super Bowl run.
As the summer was filled with buzz of whether or not the Jets would be featured on the NFL’s Hard Knocks series, the league announced this week that the team and NFL Films are moving forward with the Emmy award series returning back to New York. The now 2nd year corner back weighs in on his thoughts and how the team will be perceived with cameras around 24/7.
Sauce shares how his upbringing and relationship with his mother shaped him into the man he is today and how having some adversity young motivated him to be more focused on his goals as he advanced.

As a life long 24 y/o jet fan I can honestly say this kid is the best thing to happen to us since revis. Real humble and clearly has ten toes firmly on the ground. Respect 💪🏼

[@OGWannaKnowMe]

As a lifelong Titans fan, Asante Samuel must’ve been smoking dope if he thinks Revis isn’t that guy. His name is his name 🏝️

Great interview with an amazing young man! And he doesn’t even have to swear to be cool. Great DB and work ethic - we Jets fans are blessed to have him. Can’t wait to watch him this year. Do hope Coach Saleh (whose brother was in the twin towers on 9/11) talks and explains it to all the young guys that were under 5 when it happened! Awesome podcast!

[@MichiganHendough]

swearing is a expression not always tryna be cool

[@CornerSportsnet]

He don’t smoke or drink and doesn’t curse good Dude great player

[@stephenmay1343]

Congrats Mr. Gardner, I am from the D and was thrilled to see you back up your game with being grounded. This is the second documentary I seen you featured in. Play the best you can, get your bag and represent.

[@davidh9823]

After watching this interview, I was really impressed with this young man and yes, he's an 'old soul'. LOL! Very mature for his age. As long as he maintains that attitude and work ethic, the sky is the limit.

54 YARDS THE WHOLE YEAR ON AN EXTENDED SEASON. JIT THE GOAT ALREADY 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

[@TheBahamian1]

I heard that and was thinking that was a mis spoken stat! But seriously, 54 yards ALL season in a 17 game season! No seriously, is that correct!? If it is , in this pass happy nfl, that HAS to be the greatest season by a corner back of all time! That is not just shut down.......that dude is an "Erase" cornerback! Wow! Just Wow!

[@jayjay3smith]

Never thought these words would ever come out my mouth…I’ll be watching the jets every week for the whole season including hard knocks

[@throwjr]

First time I’ve sat down to listen to sauce. Stand up guy, for real. Us here in NY are very lucky to have him. Jump on the bandwagon now - there are NEVER “too many” jet fans

[@Drank305]

Love Ryan's questions!! My dawg need a Barbra Walters podcast lol. He ask the questions you appreciate

[@curchrwratv]

He not lying the young league boys from Detroit was in Florida at the Various nationals and several of them 13 yr olds had UGA and Alabama offers from the SEC etc. I had a great time with them kids and they showed me so much love, I ❤️ Detroit.

[@seanfrank32]

I just realized Sauce grew up in Detroit during ARod's career. He watched him first hand.

[@jaseallenson316]

And now, he is gonna win a SB with him. And i say this as someone who has lived in wisconsin for 46 years. I hope the jets are blessed with health, so they can reach that potential.

[@jaseallenson316]

@AFuckingBird oh ok. Ya must not know their roster & their head coach.

[@jaseallenson316]

@AFuckingBird omg,, you are clueless. Level up bud, and just watch it play out. You will see

[@GuyFishER_]

[@wellsgunter948]

The league would be crazy if they all had that kind of humble swag about themselves like sauce does!

[@HappyEddyMcGuire]

Not only is he the best CB already in the league but his personality and mental game is off the charts. Humility is weapon and Sauce knows.

[@jaseallenson316]

And he is about to be a superbowl champion.

[@usmcmikeco0651]

he's not the best CB in the league.

[@traplordso985]

The Pivot, works, because they make the guest comfortable! Sauce Gardner, is a leader,he gets it. That’s a God, given talent.

[@Nc18554]

Man I'm a lifelong ravens fan, but garnder is just different. I wish we had him. Dude is so much more mature than 95% of young players. He's going to be one of the greats

[@WhiskeeNeet]

I ALWAYS look forward to a new episode. I became an INSTANT sub after the 1st one I watched! 🤙🏽

[@MarcTheRoofer]

I was a fan of Sauce but after listening to him, I love that this kid is going to kill it in NY for years to come.

[@jayzooda7511]

I love this podcast people. Don’t understand. I need this so I can get through the week and prosper.! 🙏🏿

[@chereemcarn8464]

When I think of vacation I do think of Detroit in the summer time!! So much fun! Oh wait I am from Detroit who moved away as an adult and was homesick for 14 years. I love Detroit

[@clouds8950]

You three do this podcast so well. Your personalities go together really well. You got Fred with the calm level head the patience and the great questions, RC with the professionalism super respectful of the guests and the media knowledge and experience, and then you have Channing who tends to think of questions no one else thought of while at the same time always being hilariously funny. Your show is great and I look forward to watching you guys every time. I'll listen to you guys while I'm driving around for work and it just makes my day better. I appreciate the pivot 👊🏽😁

[@scottw9732]

Awesome as always, guys. Love you too, Sauce. I hope you come play for the Steelers one day. In the meantime, I'm grateful we don't have to play you twice a year.😯

[@TjBlack1]

He’s not even up next. HES HERE!! It’s crazy what he did as a rookie. We’re blessed to watch this kid play football.

[@kennethdavis5309]

Be humble in your gifts. Thanks for the show...

[@mdavila2028]

Sauce !!!!! Cant wait for this season to start

[@GC-ye9qf]

Channing is so raw, its funny...Love it. He's like that crazy uncle that be trying to school you with facts but in a crazy way, and then the first one to get into a fight. now, gear switch. It;s interesting how Sauce felt like the magazine did him kinda dirty with that cover. It reminded me of Terry Crews and Dave Chappelle and others pointing out how out of nowhere, companies, execs will try to have you do something weird. That being his last photo for the session, ends up on the cover. Can't trust none of these big companies. Don't sell your soul Sauce, material wealth will never replace self rule.

[@dominicamedlock]

no one else is on the pivot’s level right now. nothing but home runs lately man

[@beatsbaby3284]

Who’s doing the job of who pivot brings in to interview. They’re doing an awesome job!

[@beatsbaby3284]

Best PCast out there!

[@seaburn8051]

I rewind that couple times just to hear him say he from Detroit the d happy for you my boy

[@nate4697]

Channing is so crucial to the vibes of the show

[@Deewhite3]

It’s just 7 Mile 😂😂😂 you can tell the producers never been to Detroit lol

[@lol1985100]

Interview was fire… but dawg Chan where can I get that hat man?! That’s hard!

[@bryancole4022]

Channing the type of dude to have full blown sports debates in prison showers and laugh when they cross swords ⚔️

[@livennlearn]

When its all said and done, Ryan will go down as one of the best ever. He makes me want to be a better person.

[@walterjackson468]

Great Young talent & even A GREATER YOUNG MAN ✌️ Great job guys & Thank you Mom Gardner 🫶

[@Sirx1K1K]

It’s so crazy. I won a national championship against Sauce & his Detroit Spartans team in youth football, he was already a dog back then, one of the only players we knew about before we played them

[@monar2092]

This was sooooooooo good!

[@yusufknight1198]

I really enjoy the fellas for being authentic and genuine…The content allows you to get up close and hear our athletes from another perspective…💫💪🏾🎯

[@facepalmpicks]

the media loves sauce and no one understands how rare that is 😂😂 he’s one of few the athletes they haven’t given the malika andrews treatment from the trenches. far from a saint but is a genuine dude love to see it

[@Dee-e7u]

He bluffing he ain’t from the trenches you can see through the bs

[@jefcergos]

​@@Dee-e7u Please tell me you're not saying that just because he's not the average ignorant young guy.

[@facepalmpicks]

@@Dee-e7u he’s from the trenches he just had no role in it, really shouldn’t even be addressed when talking to him tbh

[@quannthagreat]

Huge respect to Sauce 💯 he’s easily become one of my favorite players to enter the league and make an impact as a rookie especially being on defense.. he’s gonna be something

[@thirstmcgurst7200]

Detroit what up doe!! Shoutout to Sauce✊🏾… but it’s just 7 mile no need to be over punctual we from the D
