New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez is just as smooth off the field as he is on it.
That was made obvious by his perfect response to former NFL coach Jon Gruden, who jokingly brought up the tuck rule game during an interview with the All-Pro defensive back.
“I used to hate the Patriots,” Gruden said on the “Gruden Goes Long” podcast. “That tuck rule, that was some [expletive] Gonzalez. You know that?”
Gonzalez responded, “That was before my time.”
Gruden was referring to the 2021 divisional round of the playoffs when he coached the Oakland Raiders in an overtime loss to the Patriots.
