story by Bucky Brooks on NFL.com...

Mr Brooks has tabbed Pats DB Christian Gonzales as a Breakout player this year...

CG is the only Pats player to make the list on Offense or Defense... He makes no mention of Special Teams...

the write-up

The Patriots might have landed the league's next superstar on the island with the 17th overall pick of the 2023 draft. Gonzalez showed rare traits as a big corner (6-1, 205) with ballerina-like feet and hips in an injury-abbreviated rookie season. The smooth-moving playmaker can blanket receivers utilizing various techniques to shrink the field for the passer and pass catcher. Moreover, Gonzalez displays the ball skills and instincts to develop into a takeaway specialist on a defense that could utilize more zone coverage to keep more eyes on the ball. Given the 22-year-old's talents, traits and technique, it is only a matter of time before Gonzalez is recognized as one of the elites on the island.

I for one, hope this **** comes true and he is a break out player... When one is a CB, the Island Life is good...

He's got some skills we all have very high expectations for him. Justified but very high still. He's almost as important as Maye.

He reminds me of Jalen Ramsey without the attitude. Has has deceptive speed which you wouldn't think with his height and length. This team hasn't drafted All Pro and/or Pro Bowl players on defense since Jamie Collins and Chandler Jones made it in 2015. I thought Barmore could've bucked the trend last season, but it didn't happen. This defense has had too many pedestrian players over the years. It would be nice to see Bill finally draft an elite CB after all those years of drafting DB's.
