"With the 17th pick in the 2023 NFL draft, Christian Gonzalez was selected by the Patriots out of Oregon. Over his first two seasons, Gonzalez played and started 20 games. As a rookie, Gonzalez played in just four games for New England. He suffered a torn labrum in his shoulder and missed their final 13 games. During his 2024 campaign, Christian Gonzalez bounced back and started 16 of 17 games for the Patriots."
"He finished the 2024 season with 59 combined tackles, two interceptions, 11 passes defended, and one fumble recovery for a touchdown. That was enough for Gonzalez to be named second-team All-Pro. After missing significant time as a rookie, Christian Gonzalez bounced back in his second season. Unfortunately, Gonzalez suffered a setback in late July, which has affected his 2025 campaign."
New England is 1-2 through three games after a 21-14 Week 3 loss to the Steelers. Christian Gonzalez has not played this season while recovering from a hamstring injury sustained in late July. The team expects Gonzalez to ramp up his workload and possibly play in Week 4 versus the Panthers. Gonzalez was the 17th overall pick in 2023 from Oregon and started 20 games across his first two seasons. After a rookie torn labrum, he started 16 of 17 games in 2024, recording 59 combined tackles, two interceptions, 11 passes defended, and earning second-team All-Pro honors.
