(AP) — Garrett Wilson sprinted down the field as Aaron Rodgers launched a deep pass, looking for a big gain.Sauce Gardner, step for step with his New York Jets teammate, stuck out his left arm just as the ball arrived and deftly knocked it away.Advantage: Gardner. But only for a moment.On the next play in Saturday’s training camp practice, Rodgers went Wilson’s way again — this time on a slant pass over the middle.

He then twirled his hat and thanked the local crowd that had been supporting him from the start at Royal Liverpool.“It was just the perfect finish to what has been the most unbelievable week,” the 27-year-old Englishman said. “Just rolling that in, I just so wanted to knock it in just for everyone who’s supported me, just to go mental one last time and crazy. They stuck with me even in the rain like this.”Jordan already had been loudly cheere...
