Christian Gonzalez praised as ‘elite player’ by Aaron Rodgers ahead of Patriots-Jets showdown

Aaron Rodgers knows a thing or two about cornerback play, having gone up against quite a few of them over the course of his 20-year NFL career. So, when the New York Jets’ outspoken starting quarterback deems you an elite player it probably is not a backhanded complement.

In the case of Christian Gonzalez, applying just that label is not a far-fetched concept. And that is exactly what Rodgers did on a new episode of ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show when asked about the Jets’ upcoming Thursday night game against the New England Patriots.
