Raising the bar; Sauce Gardner, Quincy Williams Named All-Pro

Originally posted on JetNation.com | By Glenn Naughton | Last updated 1/13/24

Another year, another eye-popping accolade for Jets superstar cornerback Sauce Gardner who was named All-Pro for the second time in as many NFL seasons. It makes Gardner the first cornerback since the merger to earn that distinction.

Meanwhile, linebacker Quincy Williams got his first All-Pro nod just one year after his brother Quinnen did the same. The linebacker enjoyed a career season, picking up 139 tackles (15 for loss), 2 sacks, 4 quarterback hits and 1 interception. His sack against the Denver Broncos that forced a fumble that was returned for a touchdown was one of his biggest plays of the season.

Williams was a force against both the run and the pass and played at an elite level from the moment the season kicked off.

LB CJ Mosley
DT Quinnen Williams
WR Garrett Wilson
RB Breece Hall
CB Michael Carter
