Christian Gonzalez, a former first-round pick by Bill Belichick, was named to the 2024 All-Belichick Team on Valentine's Day. Belichick, reflecting on a rough history in Cleveland, acknowledged Gonzalez's impressive performance in a challenging season for the Patriots, who finished with a disappointing 4-13 record. With a standout season marked by 59 tackles, two interceptions, and a passer rating of 70.5 against him, Gonzalez's achievements also included a second-team All-Pro selection and finishing fifth for Comeback Player of the Year after recovering from a shoulder injury in 2023.
On Valentine's Day there is usually a lot of love in the air. 30 years ago today, there was not a lot of love in Cleveland when Art Modell decided to move the team and leave me behind.
Gonzalez had a strong case to be one of the four boundary cornerbacks selected All-Belichick for the 2024 season.
The Patriots cornerback was one of the lone bright spots for a team that went 4-13, recording 59 total tackles, two interceptions, a fumble recovery, and 11 passes defended.
Gonzalez finished fifth in the Comeback Player of the Year voting. He was also named second-team All-Pro.
