"Christian Gonzalez was one of those players, making jaw-dropping play after jaw-dropping play. One such play was in the first half when Sam Darnold was targeting Rashid Shaheed down the field in what looked to be a completion for a big gain. Gonzalez, however, got in on the play and broke up the pass, which was still when the game was competitive."
"Richard Sherman, who played in a Super Bowl against the Patriots when he was in Seattle, couldn't help but notice Gonzalez's efforts in the game. He took to social media to praise the Pats young. cornerback. "Christian Gonzalez is putting on a CLINIC!!! 1on1 isolated and he has prevented multiple TDs. On the biggest stage showing he's one of the Best if not the best.""
"The Patriots spent a first-round pick on Gonzalez in the 2023 NFL Draft, and he'll be eligible for an extension this offseason. The team has plenty of cap space, and he definitely made extending him one of the Patriots' biggest priorities this spring. Well-deserved after the clinic he put on against the Seahawks in Super Bowl LX, even if New England didn't come away with the win."
