“There’s 2 sides to everything. And I’m a realist, so I’m always going to keep it 100.” Sauce Gardner
The NY Jets 2x All-Pro cornerback is setting the record straight, responding to verbal accusations about the organization and providing context to unanswered questions and speculation surrounding the Jets culture and future of the team. Only the 3rd guest to make a repeat appearance on The Pivot, Sauce chats with Ryan, Fred and Channing about everything from growing up in Detroit to his love of music to being a leader in the locker room to what 2024 looks like for The Jets but most importantly, Sauce was strong in his purpose of letting the world know, the bull crap and false talk about his team, needs to come to an end.
Stemming from a recent conversation The Pivot had with Mecole Hardman, Hardman spoke out against his former NY team, listing numerous reasons he was happy to have left the organization as well as revealed the inner workings from his experience that painted the team as complacent and a disorganized mess from the top down lacking leadership, treating star players differently than the rest of the roster and not being able to have success despite having extreme talent.
Sauce spoke out on social media after the Hardman did along with other Jets players who also debunked the claims. Sauce shares his side speaking in facts only about the team, their approach and the coaching. He was extremely clear on certain aspects of the season, spoke in detail about the locker room mentality and made sure it was known that the standard is the standard in NY and the team is not an ego driven program as described. Although frustrated with the narrative that Hardman and others have used about the Jets, Sauce is open about wanting others to succeed and believing everyone can eat if they work hard enough, he applauds Mecole for another Super Bowl win but says he should have taken the high road and not even mentioned his former team.
The 23 yr old, young in age but wise far beyond his years, carries himself more as a veteran in the NFL than the young rising star he is. The early expectations were not for Sauce to reach the level of stardom he has now, yet with all of the fame and success, he discusses the importance of humility and grace. With a 96 overall Madden rating, Sauce understands that it’s the little things that separate people from good to great which is why he explains making it a priority to learn something new as often as he can by chatting with everyone in the building from the GM to the cafeteria people to the groundskeepers to his teammates, understanding that’s the best way to sharpen your skills is through communication and never being too big to learn from anyone.
Playing in the biggest city brings a lot of attention and sometimes turmoil, which Sauce details one particular incident that highlighted his new reality while using his roots to handle the issue. This was the cause for roughing the waters between Sauce and Hardman, as he explains his former teammate’s involvement in the situation. Dealing with a hacking issue on Snapchat, false claims about his personal life, exposure of privacy on blogs while also being extorted, Sauce never caved from who he is at the core and never allowed the off the field chaos to affect his play.
The only player to be named First Team All-Pro in his first two seasons since the 1970 merger, Sauce has etched his name as one of the best at the position and is just getting started. Being touted as a future Hall of Famer comes with a lot of pressure, which is why he continues to focus on each day like it’s his first day and not allow the accolades to cloud the mission. He respects the strong class of defensive backs he came into the league with and tries to learn something and elevate his game by taking something from each of their styles. Sauce didn’t have a role model growing up, so he strives to set an example and be a voice to young guys who came up just like him.
Sauce Gardner is focused on another All-Pro season and locking in with his teammates to chase their Super Bowl aspirations and understands all of that starts now in the offseason. With free agency underway and the draft coming up, Sauce says his team wants are simple, “I want Aaron to feel comfortable in the pocket and for Garrett to not always be double teamed.”

I'm not a Jets fan but I have been a huge sauce fan for a long time but I have a whole new level of respect for sauce for not coming out and ripping Nicole Hardeman and saying everything he said wasn't true he just was an absolute adult about everything.. don't ever change sauce because you are one hell of a solid dude

Sauce is going to be a hall of famer the way he’s just focused on football and doesn’t worry about petty things
Sauce is an old soul with 4D street smarts.
Glad RC took some accountability for how they questioned Mecole. Mecole just didn't understand the meaning of discretion. 🙂 He could have taken the high road.

Sauce is really him! I loved his authenticity during this interview. I’m definitely a fan. Great interview!
Not a Jets,but Sauce is my favourite cornerback and one of my favourite player's. He has the whole package:great player,humble,funny,no drama,swag and when he's on the field he is a dog!From Detroit,to the Cincinnati college and now he's one of the best(for me the best)defensive players in the NFL. Keep going like that Sauce!Stay humble and hungry.
I love young Black men like Sauce✊🏿💪🏿
Serious man, knows where he stands. Great CB! WTG Pivot
A Jet for life.
Bruh 💀 " did u watch the tape.. does it look like he gave me problems 😐😐🤣🤣🤣🤣

I understand mecole probably was an ass in the jets situation, but in no way when sauce talks about coaching staff and management can you take that serious. I mean lazard at 11 mill and mecole at 4 but he ain't seeing the field. They were yelling at coaches on defense and everyone ragged on them because the entire offense was Rodgers will figure it out
I fw him, he just like me. Dont give af about the drama or the BS, just focus on putting in work and let ya work speak for itself ❗️❗️❗️

Welcome back to The Pivot😊great interview. Blessings You Guys❤🙏🏾
Bro crazy, I still remember in 6th grade RC coming to my school. My brother went nuts because he was a Steelers fan. Love the pod
Giving up 250 for the whole season is insane
I was not expecting his aura.and him handling situations. That’s speaks volume and I am a fan now
Sauce sound like Marlo from the wire 😂😂
As a jets fan. We need to keep sauce, he gets it. He will be a very good player for a very long time
This was a dope interview 👌🏾👌🏾
Night and day from the Mecole interview. Mecole had a million excuses for everything, you could tell he was kind of a slick talker. This dude is smart, wise, mature, and calculated. No excuses for anything.
Channing hoodie is 🔥🔥🔥
WHAT UP DOE. Detroit -VS- EVERYBODY
Call it Nap or Naptown, Sauce. Much respect to your game. 👊🏿
Sauce Gardner is a stand up man. I’m not a guy who runs out to buy Jerseys because of how much players today move on from their teams. Mid season in his rookie year I own a # 1 Jersey that reads Sauce on the back.
This dude is very humbled and has so much class. He also has crazy skills on the field. Much respect for him.
Jets lucky af to have this dude 💯

@13:19 You know its interesting... ive heard that some coaches hate players who play video games/stream etc. Kurt Benkert has talked about this. But... id much rather have my star player at home playing COD on a Weds, Thurs night then at the club drinking. Sauce is a prime example of why its not so bad afterall. "Shit, your not gonna hear about me being involved in nothing crazy.. im at home on the game."
Sauce is a great name for him! He has a swag like a man twice his age🔥❤️👍🏾

young detroit legend, it was written from the start. سُبْحَانَ الله
Thanks, guys . I like to get to know a person a bit more than what the media portraying and what we see on the field, I tryed to read up on sauces bio but I'm not sure of his speed, I know he played both positions growing up in the JRs, I'd love to know why he decided to play on defense, because I know he could of been a outstanding WR also. myself, I'd rather dish out the hits than take those unknown shots trying to catch a ball over the middle. Either way, I am very happy sauce calls himself a Jet, the Adversity this jets team had to endure last year would of put me over the edge man, I'd definitely be pionting fingers like a baby, i thought this team for what the expectation were from hard knocks ,to what we all witness thru out the season , these players and coaches did a great job sticking together and not letting the outside BS get in there heads, so definitely an A+ for hanging in there. I was a little upset with sauce later in the year, not sure what game it was , but I thought a few defense players were tip toeing around tackles , I definitely caught a few but not knowing why, it's in the past,and 2024 here, so many Anilyst, jet fans and football lovers are very excited for the jets this year, looks like they sighed a few key pieces they needed , like the saying goes, Actions speak louder then Words, prove it on game day how good you really are. The Great ,Walter Payton, biggest heart I've ever witnessed as an Athlete, never , ever give up, and that goes for anything that you're passionate about in life, failing at something is a great learning lesson , its like be embarrassed, you'll never forget that feeling when your embarrassed about something you should've of known, School of hard knocks.Thanks again, first time catching this show, Honesty will set you free, no doubt .

Wise young fella
Representative of the Gardners cuz
In his 2 seasons, Sauce is the best down to down player I’ve ever seen in over 30 years watching the Jets. That includes Revis, Martin, Mawae, Faneca, all of them. Add on top of that his obvious social intelligence, and he’s really all you could ask for as a fan. Hope he just keeps ascending and ends up with multiple rings
As a Jet fan I couldn’t be more proud of a young player with so much maturity and phenomenal talent!!
