Sauce Gardner has been elite since he first stepped on an NFL field two years ago.
The two-time All-Pro again was voted the NFL’s No. 1 cornerback by The Associated Press in a preseason survey. He also landed the top spot in 2023.
A panel of eight AP Pro Football Writers ranked the top five players at cornerback, basing selections on current status entering the 2024 season. First-place votes were worth 10 points. Second through fifth-place votes were worth 5, 3, 2 and 1 points.
Gardner, who was selected No. 4 overall by the New York Jets in the 2022 draft, received five first-place votes. Patrick Surtain II got two first-place votes and L’Jarius Sneed received the other one.
