While the New England Patriots have gone 3-7 through the first 10 weeks of their 2024 campaign, they've had some players performing pretty well, including cornerback Christian Gonzalez.

The 22-year-old was New England's first-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft and earned Offensive Rookie of the Month honors last September before a shoulder injury ended his season prematurely.

Gonzalez has returned with a vengeance in his second year, as he's allowed the second-lowest completion percentage in the league as the nearest defender (50.9%) and has allowed the fewest yards per target (5.7), per Next Gen Stats.
