Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner is one of the top players available in the 2022 draft. The self-proclaimed “Best player in the draft” is on the list of many teams this year. But Jackson took to Twitter to lure the young cornerback to the Ravens.

Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner can be the perfect fit. The 6-foot-3, 200 pounds CB played over 13 games last year. He made 40 tackles, five tackles for loss, three interceptions, and three sacks. Gardner did not allow a single touchdown during his collegiate career. There is a reason why they call him the Sause. “When I’m on and off the field, I make sure I got the sauce, you know, and I just keep going.” He said.
Lamar Jackson knows what his team needs. So with their nine first-round draft picks, Gardner is a potential addition to the squad. The young Cincinnati cornerback made a tweet saying, “I’m the best player in the draft.” The official B/R Gridiron reposted the tweet, and Jackson replied, “Come to the ravenz.” Gardner will be a great addition to the Ravens’ defense.
