Christian Gonzalez has gotten off to a strong start to his NFL career, and people have taken notice.
The rookie corner was named the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Month for September on Thursday. As the league rewarded Gonzalez for his play, some of his competitors have acknowledged his strong play, too.
That includes one of the players he’s set to up against in Week 4. Cowboys star receiver CeeDee Lamb praised Gonzalez ahead of Sunday’s matchup with the Patriots.
“He’s a real big corner, of course, very strong, has real nice ball skills,” Lamb told reporters of the 6-foot-2, 205-pound corner.
