Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez earns high praise from All-Pro WR

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill was once again singing the praises of New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez in a Snapchat post.

Gonzalez is in the middle of a stellar season. He has recorded 40 tackles, six pass deflections and an interception on the year. His most impressive outing recently was holding New York Jets All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams to zero catches on four targets in Week 8.

Gonzalez has also had success in guarding Hill, who recorded just two catches for 34 yards on five targets when one-on-one with the Patriots’ star corner. He has gained a reputation for guarding the top opposing wide receivers, and now, they are taking notice.

“I’ll say it again this young man got a shiny future,” Hill posted.

Gonzalez has developed into a cornerstone piece for the Patriots’ secondary. The defense has struggled at times this season, but the former Oregon standout has continued to prove why he was one of the biggest steals of the 2023 NFL draft.
