New England Patriots star Christian Gonzalez is developing a reputation as one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL.
On Thursday, ESPN released its ranking of the top 10 cornerbacks in the NFL based on a survey of league executives. The 23-year-old Gonzalez ranked No. 6 on the list.
Pretty good for a guy who was widely believed to be snubbed from the Pro Bowl last year.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler noted that Gonzalez “caught the league’s full attention” during an injury-shortened rookie season in 2023 and made a big leap in 2024.
