New England Patriots rookie cornerback Christian Gonzalez, the No. 17 overall pick in this year's NFL draft, was lining up as a first-unit left cornerback during offseason practices and caught the eye of his teammates. "He's very athletic. It's pretty effortless the way he does everything -- the way he moves in and out of breaks. He runs easy. It looks very light and fluid," safety Kyle Dugger said. The 6-foot-2, 201-pounder has questions about his physicality, which is one reason he may have slid in the first round, so the Patriots will wait for a more complete evaluation of Gonzalez once players are in full pads in training camp this summer. Despite the 20-year-old's size, Gonzalez has tons of tools and should challenge for a starting job opposite Jonathan Jones in camp.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerRead More News
