Christian Gonzalez has all the tools to be a superstar cornerback in the NFL. He's one of many young Patriots' players that has fans throughout New England optimistic that the team will be back to contender status in the next year or two.
Gonzalez is also halfway through his rookie deal, as he was drafted in 2023. Even though most of his rookie campaign was spent on injured reserve, it was clear right from the get-go that Gonzalez was going to be counted on to be a cornerstone of the Patriots' defense for years to come.
