In speaking with Conor Orr of Sports Illustrated Ahmad ‘Sauce’ Gardner revealed details of his first conversation with Aaron Rodgers, months prior to the four-time NFL league MVP being traded to the Jets.
It appears that the 2022 Defensive Rookie of the Year’s first communication involved his now-infamous wearing of a Packers cheesehead following the Jets Week 6 victory over Green Bay.
“First thing I did, I texted him a picture of the cheesehead,” Gardner told Orr. “And he said, ‘LOL why do you still have that?’ I told him, ‘Hey, you become a Jet, I’ll burn it. You don’t have to worry about it.’
