After a bit of a surprise selection with Emmanuel Forbes the New England Patriots found themselves with perhaps the most gifted cornerback in the class in Oregon Ducks defensive back Christian Gonzalez.
Gonzalez has an elite athletic profile, with excellent length, speed, and fluid athleticism that projects very well at the next level. He was elite for Oregon after transferring from Colorado, putting up four interceptions after having none in his career at that point in his career.
