The New England Patriots had a big test in a joint practice with the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday, and one of the matchups to watch was wide receiver AJ Brown against second-year cornerback Christian Gonzalez. Brown had nothing but nice things to say about the 2023 first-round pick.
“He's a great player,” AJ Brown said, according to Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk. “I had picked him coming out two years ago as the best defensive back in the draft. He's a great player. He gave me good work today.”
Christian Gonzalez got off to a good start as a rookie in the 2023 NFL season before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury in Week 4.
