Christian Gonzalez, a standout cornerback for the New England Patriots, has achieved remarkable success in his first full NFL season, including a Second Team All-Pro selection. However, he was left off Pro Football Focus's recent list of the top NFL players under the age of 25, raising eyebrows among fans and analysts alike. Despite his impressive stats and reputation as a leading coverage corner, he has not received recognition like other younger players. Former Patriots coach Mike Pellegrino praised Gonzalez for his competitive spirit and focus on winning rather than individual accolades, highlighting his commitment to the game.
"You can talk about him however you want. All you have to do is turn on the tape. If guys aren't talking about him, that's negligence. I don't know. The guy is playing at a very high level. I don't care what anybody says. That's how I feel about the guy. He's a great competitor."
"And honestly, the thing that makes him an even better competitor? He doesn't care about any of the awards. He just wants to win. He wants to go out there and compete. What more can you ask for out of a guy? He really doesn't care about all the glory, all the awards. He just wants to win."
