This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.
Colts superstar Sauce Gardner surprised reporters during the Indianapolis Colts minicamp when he corrected a long-standing error about his age. Gardner was selected by the New York Jets in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft as the 4th overall pick.
Most major sports databases had listed his birthdate incorrectly as August 31, 2000, which would make him 25. However, that appears to be wrong.
Sauce Gardner Sets Record Straight: “I’m 24” After Years of Wrong Listings
The star cornerback stated clearly that he turned 24 this year.
This revelation came during a conversation about his veteran leadership role. Sauce Gardner laughed off the mix-up and told reporters they could check with his mom for confirmation. He expressed amazement that the error persisted across platforms for years. Even the popular Madden NFL video game displayed the wrong age until recently.
Gardner Clears Up Age Confusion During Minicamp
Sauce Gardner is entering his fifth NFL season after a high-profile trade from the New York Jets to the Indianapolis Colts last November. The two-time first-team All-Pro cornerback brought elite shutdown skills to his new team. Many viewed him as a veteran presence in the secondary despite the age listing error.
Unfortunately, the Indianapolis Colts were dealt a significant blow when he left a game with a calf injury. He would only play in seven games and wouldn’t play past October.
His age discrepancy raised eyebrows across NFL circles, but changed little about Sauce Gardner’s elite status. He continues to dominate opposing receivers with length, speed, and instincts. Fans and analysts appreciated his straightforward approach to correcting the public record.
The NFL confirmed that teams and players verify birthdates through official channels. Somehow, the error slipped through early in his career and spread widely online. Overall, the story adds a lighthearted chapter to Sauce Gardner’s growing NFL legend. He continues turning heads with his play rather than paperwork discrepancies.
