The New England Patriots have officially signed all of their 2023 rookies with first-round draft pick Christian Gonzalez reportedly agreeing to his rookie deal.
Training camp is officially slated to start next week for the Patriots, but the rookies reported ahead of time on Friday. Gonzalez and second-round draft pick Keion White both signed their new deals upon arrival, paving the way for the official start to their NFL careers.
The expectations are high for Gonzalez, who flashed No. 1 cornerback potential during the spring practices. As with any rookie, there will obviously be growing pains, but the Patriots are hopeful he can hit the ground running similar to what Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner was able to do for the New York Jets last season.
