The New England Patriots seemed to have found their next defensive star as corner back Christian Gonzalez bursted on to the scene last season as being a bonafide shut down player in the secondary, all that while being a rookie. He is heading in to next season looking to only improve as he even is being compared to other productive Patriots defensive backs such as Stephon Gilmore, who is now with the Tennessee Titans.
However, fans only got to see Gonzalez in four games since he suffered from a season ending shoulder injury as he was selected with the 17th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
