Former NFL cornerback Asante Samuel has drawn the ire of two Jets standouts at the same position.
Samuel made the questionable claim that soon-to-be Hall of Famer Darrelle Revis and reigning Defensive Rookie of the Year Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner are overrated because of New York media coverage.
The retired 42-year-old Samuel, who won two Super Bowls with the Patriots and later played for the Eagles and Falcons, took issue with a ranking of the NFL’s top active cornerbacks conducted by ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. After polling players, coaches, scouts and executives, Fowler identified Gardner as the second-best corner in the league behind the Broncos’ Patrick Surtain II.
