New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner and linebacker Quincy Williams have been named to the AP All-Pro first team. Gardner, who is the first cornerback since the AFL/NFL merger to be selected as an AP First-Team All-Pro in each of his first two seasons, has achieved this for the second consecutive year. He is also the first Jets player since the merger, regardless of position, to earn this recognition in his first two seasons. Williams, celebrating his inclusion, expressed his joy, saying, 'Man, this amazing for real.' Meanwhile, five other Jets players received at least one first-team vote: Quinnen Williams (finished 5th), punter Thomas Morstead (finished 3rd), linebacker C.J. Mosley (finished 9th), special teamer Ashtyn Davis (finished 5th), and slot cornerback Michael Carter II (finished 6th). Gardner secured 20 first-team votes from a panel of 50 media members, while Williams received 14. Votes for the first team are worth three points each, and second-team votes are worth one point.
