Jets star and All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner has found his latest matchup off the field—this time with the Q-Collar, the first and only FDA-cleared sports device designed to help protect the brain from repetitive head impacts.
Gardner wore the collar throughout the 2024 NFL season after discovering it during a personal deep dive into player safety. The journey started with a solo purchase and ended, naturally, with a full-blown ambassadorship. Now officially part of the Q30 Innovations team, Sauce brings both star power and lived experience to a product built around performance longevity.
It’s a logical extension of Gardner’s growing portfolio. The lockdown corner has already inked deals with ZipRecruiter, Buffalo Wild Wings, and Bose, but Q-Collar positions him in a different lane—one focused less on flash and more on durability and innovation.
For a player who’s made a career out of defending against damage, signing with a brand that specializes in reducing it feels like the perfect alignment.
