Tyler Sullivan of CBS Sports put together his list of the top 25 NFL players who are 25 years old and younger. Included was Indianapolis Colts’ cornerback Sauce Gardner.Gardner came in at No. 23 on Sullivan’s rankings.”Gardner has the talent to be the best player at his position and already has two first-team All-Pro nods on his résumé,” Sullivan wrote. “That said, there have also been some ebbs during his young career, which is why we’re keeping him in the bottom half of this list. If he lives up to the price tag Indy paid this season, he’ll reestablish himself as one of the NFL’s top young cornerbacks.”Unfortunately, a calf injury limited Gardner to only four games in a Colts’ uniform. That said, even in a small sample size, he was able to showcase the impact that he could have.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementHis ability to play on an island and travel with top wideouts allows defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo to call a much more aggressive game and provides him with additional flexibility as he builds out his weekly game plans.Gardner’s impact on this Colts’ defense has the potential to go well beyond his own column on the stat sheet.This article originally appeared on Colts Wire: See which Colts player is ranked among NFL’s top players 25 and under
