The New York Jets have one of the NFL’s better defenses, at least on paper, and it is a big reason why some have been picking them to at least reach the AFC Championship Game.<\/p>\n

They have a strong front seven, and their secondary is led by cornerback Sauce Gardner, who quickly became a star upon entering the league in 2022.<\/p>\n

Gardner recently said his favorite wide receiver when he was in high school was Calvin Ridley, a player he and his team will face when they play the Tennessee Titans in Week 2.<\/p>\n

“I used to play receiver in high school,” Gardner said, via Paul Andrew Esden Jr. of The Score 1260.<\/p>\n

Who was #Jets<\/a> CB Sauce Gardner\u2019s favorite receiver in high school? #Titans<\/a> star Calvin Ridley! <\/p>\n

\u2018Calvin Ridley was my favorite receiver in high school. I used to play receiver in high school.\u2019<\/p>\n

On Sunday they will face off in Week 2.<\/p>\n

Ridley was one of a few notable offseason additions for the Titans, who were 6-11 and missed the playoffs last season.<\/p>\n

After being suspended for all of the 2022 season due to a violation of the NFL’s gambling policy, he caught 76 passes for 1,016 yards and eight touchdowns last season as a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars.<\/p>\n

Although Tennessee narrowly lost its season opener to the Chicago Bears, Ridley gives them a nice one-two punch at wide receiver alongside DeAndre Hopkins.<\/p>\n

Gardner, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, led the league with 20 passes defended as a rookie, which helped him earn the Defensive Rookie of the Year award.<\/p>\n

He has been named to the Pro Bowl and All-Pro First Team in each of his pro seasons.<\/p>\n

A win for the Jets will be very important after a Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, as they can’t afford to get off to a slow start in a very competitive division and a very deep conference.<\/p>\n
