Colts cornerback Sauce Gardner corrected his birth year on Thursday, saying he was born in 2001. Every site from Pro Football Reference to ESPN to TheAthletic.com lists Gardner's birthday incorrectly as Aug. 31, 2000, which would make him 25 years old. " I’m 24 ," Gardner said, via James Boyd of TheAthletic.com. "It's crazy that I'm even being asked this." Gardner's age is even incorrect in EA Sports Madden NFL. "It's wrong in Madden, too?" Gardner said. "That's crazy because I never checked. Because when it comes to the paperwork and everything I've signed, it all says '01. So I don't know where or how it got messed up unless people just get it straight from Google."
