Even though he has looked good in practice, his teammates won’t call him by his nickname until he plays his first regular season game and “balls out.”

He’s Ahmad right now,” Jets defensive end Carl Lawson told NFL Network. “He’s Ahmad right now until he gets to the field. Until he plays and he balls out, then we’ll call him Sauce. But he’s Ahmad right now.”
