Former Cincinnati cornerback Ahmad Gardner is one of the most coveted defensive backs in the 2022 NFL draft.
A large reason for the great interest in Gardner is his touchdowns allowed streak. The 6-3, 200-pound cornerback did not allow a single touchdown catch in the more than 1,000 snaps he played for the Bearcats from 2019-21.
Gardner joined The Richard Sherman Podcast and explained that the impetus for his streak wasn’t borne out of any desire for accolades. Rather, Gardner wanted to ensure he was giving maximum effort to help his team win.
