Sauce Gardner clarifies his age amid widespread misinformation

Indianapolis Colts cornerback Sauce Gardner confirmed he is 24 years old, directly challenging claims that he is 25. Sources like ESPN and Pro Football Reference claim his birth date is August 31, 2000, but Gardner insists he was born in 2001. This misrepresentation has sparked debate and confusion online. The Athletic reported Gardner’s comments during the Colts’ minicamp, noting that EA Sports’ Madden video game also lists the incorrect age. Gardner expressed surprise at the inaccuracies, particularly with such information being widely available on the internet. Efforts are underway to pinpoint the original source of the confusion regarding his birth year.
