No. 3: Sauce Gardner vs. Garrett Wilson

Arguably the best young cornerback and the best young wide receiver roam the same locker room. In an absolute masterclass by general manager Joe Douglas, the Jets landed two franchise pillars at the 2023 NFL Draft. Sauce Gardner talks a big game and backs it up with ease on the gridiron. Garrett Wilson is a tad more reserved, but he is never shy to let a defender know when they get burnt.

The collision course of these two talented athletes is something every fan wants to see. Given that neither guy will be leaving New York anytime soon, this may be the only glimpse we see of them matching up head-to-head. And boy, I cannot wait. I have my popcorn ready for the first episode of Hard Knocks.
