Corners are turning in the NFL as player jersey numbers change. Sauce Gardner, the cornerback for the Indianapolis Colts, will now don the number 1 jersey. Meanwhile, wide receiver Josh Downs will transition from No. 1 to No. 2 in this weekend’s game against the Atlanta Falcons in Berlin.
Sauce Gardner Takes the No. 1 Jersey
Gardner’s move to the Colts comes after he wore No. 1 since being drafted as the fourth overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. The Colts acquired him from the New York Jets. They made this trade on Tuesday, in exchange for two first-round picks and wide receiver Adonai Mitchell.
