  "account": "Indianapolis – Sauce Gardner, the Colts' first-round draft pick from 2022, has quickly proven himself as an active leader for the team's young defense. Despite being under a microscope for his three seasons with the Jets, Gardner remains unfazed by the constant scrutiny and criticism he faces. He recently shared his response to a viral stat that claimed he has not won an NFL game in the United States since December 15, 2024. Gardner simply stated that he is used to such statements and that the team has already taken steps to become a serious contender in the league. Gardner plays in front of a new group of young players and is eager to help them learn valuable lessons from his own experiences. Despite the negative attention, Gardner remains focused on his role and continues to push forward.",
