NFL Cornerback Prospect: Christian Gonzalez
Gonzalez is tall, patient, and instinctive, while also possessing above-average ball skills.
But, he is from Oregon, so as an Eagles fan, NEXT!
Just kidding.
Christian is a cool customer who never appears to panic on the field when he misses an assignment, but he rarely does.
While playing zone defense he has the self-awareness to abandon post once he realizes nobody is entering his portion of the field.
He is also extremely effective in press coverage and uses his size and strength to eliminate separation. He had 4 interceptions in 2022.
Watching the tape from the first few games to the second half of the season, it is apparent how much he improved throughout the season.
His 6'2 200 lb frame will be in demand, as will his speed, which he showed off at the combine running a 4.38
He should be a top 10 draft selection and will make a franchise very happy.
Notes watching the film:
Fast, great size, strength, athletic, sticky, he doesn’t give up separation, great footwork, elite straight-line speed, INSTINCTS!
