New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers believes New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez is an "elite player."
When appearing on "The Pat McAfee Show," he spoke about his run-in with the Patriots' 2023 first-round draft pick at a rehab clinic during the offseason. Rodgers had an eye on Gonzalez with the two playing in the AFC East division.
They didn't get to face off last season due to both suffering season-ending injuries. However, they went head-to-head on Thursday night, and Gonzalez had a great showing, even though the Jets won the game. He managed to hold star wideout Garrett Wilson to only five catches for 33 yards and a touchdown.
