As the Indianapolis Colts wrapped up mandatory minicamps on Thursday, Sauce Gardner was questioned by reporters about his role as one of the veterans on the team. Gardner’s response left everyone puzzled as the former Fourth Overall pick cleared the confusion regarding his real age.
Per The Athletic, while Gardner’s official documents, including his driver’s license and passport, have his age listed as 24, some error along the way has led to his age being published as 25 on ESPN’s official player page, as well as on Wikipedia and in EA Sports’ Madden franchise video games.
As news of his interaction during the minicamp spread across social media, fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to share their thoughts on the mix-up.
One fan referenced the long-running joke surrounding Rockstar Games’ highly-anticipated title GTA VI, which has been the subject of years of delays and speculation since the game’s announcement, and tweeted:

Daniel Jones had a career-reviving season last year after leaving New York for Indiana. The 29-year-old drastically improved his passing yards and passing touchdowns, as well as QBR, from the year prior under head coach Shane Steichen. However, an ACL injury cut Jones’ season short.
While Jones was initially expected to miss the start of the upcoming season in order to fully recover from the tear, the quarterback had already asked Steichen’s permission to compete in the mandatory minicamp, per a report.
While Jones’ request ended up getting declined, the Colts quarterback is already on a 7-on-7 program and will be waiting to start 11-on-11 work as he recovers from his ACL tear.
