Gonzalez excited for Patriots camp after injury derailed rookie year originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The New England Patriots are not expected to be contenders in the AFC during the 2024 NFL season. In fact, some predictions/models have the Pats finishing at, or near the bottom of the conference standings for the second straight year.
But there are reasons to be excited about this team. Rookie quarterback Drake Maye is obviously one. Another is second-year cornerback Christian Gonzalez.
Expectations are high for the 2023 first-round draft pick.
