Sauce Gardner is gearing up for his first full season with the Indianapolis Colts, but a recent age-related confusion has been cleared by the player himself.
According to various sources, including ESPN and Pro Football Reference, Gardner's birthdate is listed as August 2000, making him 25 years old. However, the Colts' official website lists him as 24 years old, causing discrepancies.
Gardner addressed the question and provided clarification, stating, 'I'm 24. It's crazy that I'm even being asked this.'
He expressed surprise upon learning that his age was incorrectly listed in the Madden NFL video game and attributed the mistake to incorrect information from Google.
Gardner's NFL teams have consistently had his correct age on record since he was drafted, and the confusion appears to have spread elsewhere, with outlets like Wikipedia listing incorrect information.
The 24-year-old was traded from the New York Jets to the Colts last November and is now preparing for his first full season with the franchise.
Despite a calf injury restricting him to just four appearances last season, Gardner showed his impact, allowing a 54% completion rate, surrendering 7.3 yards per catch, and recording three pass breakups.
