New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez reacted to his surprising omission from Pro Football Focus' top 25 under-25 list, expressing his feelings with a simple phrase: 'Let the play talk.' Despite being one of the few NFL All-Pro cornerbacks last season, Gonzalez was overlooked in favor of others like Trent McDuffie and Derek Stingley Jr. His formidable performance included dominant displays against elite wide receivers, allowing just two touchdowns throughout the season while earning a notable 76.0 rating as the highest-graded player on his team.
Gonzalez told the Boston Herald: Let the play talk. That's all I have to say about that.
Ultimately, Gonzalez deserved to be there and according to All-Pro voters there were only three cornerbacks who had a better season in 2024.
Gonzalez featured as the No 1 corner in a defense that played man coverage at the second-highest rate in the NFL.
The youngster was the highest-graded player on the Patriots last season with a 76.0 rating.
