Ryan Honey

The belief was Jets general manager Joe Douglas preferred pass rushers to defensive backs. If so, he must really love Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner. Douglas snagged the Cincinnati cornerback with the No. 4 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft on Thursday night. It’s a move that makes plenty of football sense, but is not necessarily a … Continued
