    Gonzalez, who played college football at Colorado and Oregon, was a first-round draft pick by the Patriots in 2023 but played only four games as a rookie because of a shoulder injury. In the first six games this season he leads New England with 24 solo tackles, is tied for the lead with three passes defensed and has an interception.

    Gonzalez drew praise last week from Houston wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who said he has been "very impressive" this season.
