CINCINNATI — Ahmad "Sauce" Gardnera made a slight wrong turn on his way to the podium as he became a New York Jet, but it wasn't keeping him from making history for the Cincinnati Bearcats.

Gardner is the highest draft pick in program history, breaking a 53-year record held by Greg Cook when he went to the Cincinnati Bengals at No. 5 in 1969.

His fellow high-powered Teammate Desmond Ridder loved what he saw from his hometown draft watch party.
