New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner is determined to take his game to the next level this season, and his new defensive coordinator Steve Wilks is pushing him to achieve perfection. Wilks challenged Gardner to be more consistent, citing his Pro Bowl-caliber play and encouraging him to take it to another level. Gardner appreciated the challenge and feels it's exactly what he needs to improve. After a perceived down season, Gardner is looking to silence his critics and prove himself as one of the league's top cornerbacks. Under the guidance of Wilks and new head coach Aaron Glenn, Gardner is motivated to work harder and take on new challenges. The analytics site Pro Football Focus backs up Gardner's assessment, giving him a 91.9 coverage grade since 2022, leading the league. Wilks and Glenn believe Gardner has the potential to be a dominant player, but needs to focus on consistency. With the Jets' fifth-year option on his rookie contract, Gardner is in line for an extension and is prioritizing his on-field performance over contract talks.
