When debating the top cornerback in the 2022 NFL draft, you can’t have the conversation without mentioning Cincinnati’s Ahmad Gardner.
Known nationally by his nickname (“Sauce”), Gardner is coming off of one of the most impressive collegiate careers a cornerback has had in recent memory. A three-time first-team All-AAC who was a consensus first-team All-American in 2021, the shutdown corner finishes his time with the Bearcats having caused 9 interceptions and allowing not a single touchdown thrown his way in coverage.
As he prepares for the draft, Draft Wire had the chance to speak exclusively with Gardner about his pre-draft training with Exos, how he deals with the CB1 hype, his foray into NFTs with Dez Bryant, and much more.
