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.
