BOSTON — The New England Patriots have an elite lineage of superstar cornerbacks in the 21st century from Ty Law to Darrelle Revis to Stephon Gilmore.
Christian Gonzalez appears to be next in line in that group and walked the walk to earn that so far in his sophomore season. The second-year defensive back continues to lock up elite talent lined up across from him and blossomed as a weekly reason to watch the Patriots in a rebuilding year.
Law knows the responsibility that comes with the role of a shutdown corner in New England.
