Speed, real name Darren Jason Watkins Jr., has become an internet star thanks to his streaming content.
The 19-year-old attempted to win a route against Gardner in a viral video posted on Friday.
Gardner, 23, is a two-time Pro Bowler and one of the best corners in the NFL.
But he struggled to deal with Watkins’ fast feet, as the YouTuber’s quick cuts saw him dodge Sauce’s grip.
Speed then rushed away towards the endzone, to cheers from the watching crowd.
Fans were quick to comment on the clip, which racked up over 500,000 views.
“I’m convinced this kid is good almost at anything athletically,” gasped on fan on X.
“IShowSpeed has to be in the NFL,” said another.

“You can’t get mad on speed, he’s such a vibe,” laughed a third.
“Dude really this athletic but just be playing games. Waste of a talent,” said a fourth.
Hailing from Ohio, Speed boasts more than 22.6 million YouTube subscribers.
He began live-streaming sports video games in 2017 and has since become one of the platform’s leading influencers.
Watkins is estimated to have amassed a fortune of $10 million, per CelebrityNetWorth.
It’s not the first time Speed has shown off his sporting chops.
Earlier this month, he appeared in a charity soccer match against Cristiano Ronaldo Jr.
