2022 Fantasy Outlook
Gardner was drafted fourth overall by the Jets after going his entire college career in Cincinnati without allowing a touchdown. The rookie cornerback will try to follow in Darrelle Revis' footsteps, and Gardner will face a steep learning curve playing in the same division as star wide receivers Stefon Diggs and Tyreek Hill.

Leads league in passes defensed
Gardner finished the 2022 season with 75 tackles (51 solo), two interceptions and a league-high 20 passes defensed.
ANALYSIS
Gardner's addition played a key role in New York's historic improvement on defense compared to last season, as the Jets went from 29.6 points allowed per game to 18.6. There's a strong argument that the fourth overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft was the best cover corner in the league as a rookie considering Gardner led the NFL in passes defensed despite teams rarely throwing his way. Many a prominent wide receiver was "lost in the Sauce" in 2022, and that's likely to remain a common theme for years to come.
