Sauce Gardner: Pursuing Victory in an Ideal Situation
Sauce Gardner, the talented cornerback, has shared insights regarding his recent trade from the Jets to the Colts. The Jets agreed to send Gardner to the Colts in exchange for two first-round draft picks and wide receiver AD Mitchell.
Sauce Gardner’s Reactions to the Trade
When Gardner received the news from Jets General Manager Darren Mougey, he had one request. He hoped that the trade would place him in his “ideal situation.” He expressed concerns about joining a losing team or being sent far away from home.
Reasons for Choosing the Colts
Gardner identified several reasons the Colts were a fitting choice for him:
- Desire to win games.
- His college teammate, Alec Pierce, is part of the Colts team.
- The location is closer to his hometown of Detroit.
- His preference for the color blue, which is associated with the Colts.
Health and Preparation for the Game
Following the trade announcement, Gardner did not address the media on Wednesday. He was still undergoing concussion protocol at that time. However, he returned to full practice and cleared the protocol just before speaking to reporters.
With his health condition resolved, Gardner is set to make his debut with the Colts this Sunday against the Falcons in Berlin. His recovery marks an important step as he aims to contribute to his new team’s success.
