The first night of the 2022 NFL Draft is in the books and Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs already has some bulletin board material via New York Jets cornerback Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner.
One day before the draft, Gardner was asked about potentially being drafted by the New York Jets and if he was looking forward to the challenge of going against the likes of Diggs, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.
“Most definitely,” Gardner told Alfredo Arteaga of 5 Reasons Sports Network.
Arteaga followed up asking Gardner how he felt he would stack up in man coverage against the trio of receivers.
“Real good,” said Gardner. “I feel like I can go against the best easily.”
You can see the interview questions below.
The Jets made Gardner the fourth overall pick in the draft on Thursday night.
Gardner certainly does not lack confidence and his play at Cincinnati showed he was among the most elite prospects in this year’s class. While confidence is a good thing, Gardner may regret saying he can take on the likes of Waddle, Hill and Diggs easily before ever suiting up in the NFL.
