The list of Detroit King stars to reach the NFL includes players include Sauce Gardner, Avonte Maddox, Ken Woodard and Rod Hill.

The New York Jets made a big bet on Sauce Gardner as the anchor of their secondary by giving him a four-year, $120.4 million contract extension, but his actual impact on games is something still being debated within NFL circles.

Gardner will earn an average of $30.1 million per season once the extension officially kicks in. The Jets made him the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL. Gardner's deal slightly surpasses that of Houston Texans cornerback Derek Stingley Jr., who received a three-year, $90M extension in March ($30M average).
