Pros 

  • Elite athletic profile at the position.

  • Incredibly fluid and flexible frame when covering receivers.

  • Good physicality at the line of scrimmage when engaging receivers.
 
  • Can alter routes well at line when matchup with someone of his size.
 
  • Elite explosiveness in his lower half combined with fluid footwork to keep with any route on the field.
 
  • Phenomenal stop-start quickness to react to routes as they happen and stay with receiver.
 
  • Exceptional route route-recognition.
 
  • Flips hips with great timing when running down field.
 
  • More than enough speed to run with any NFL receiver.
 
  • Can absolutely soar when the ball is in the air.
 
  • Phenomenal feel for the receivers location in zone coverage.
 
  • Keeps eyes on quarterback in zone without falling for look-offs or pumps in his direction.
 
  • Leaping ability and height for his position makes throwing in his direction a last resort.

  • Very capable tackler in the open field due to impressive athleticism.

  • Not afraid to hit ball carriers head on as tackler.

  • Reliable run defender on the outside.

  • Highly capable blitzer despite lack of usage in this role.

  • Tough and rugged cornerback that has fiery competitive nature.

  • Quite the tackler on the field when shutting down his opposing receiver.

Cons

  • Needs more strength in frame to play press coverage.

  • Ball skills, while certainly improved in 2022, are still questionable.

  • Needs to improve his positioning on incoming passes in his direction.
​
  • Needs to time his jumps better when when attacking the football.

Overview

Christian Gonzalez started to soar up draft boards as his coverage prowess become too good to ignore and his elite athletic profile was on full display at the combine for all to see. He's the clear cut best cornerback in the draft that is plug-n-play pro bowl level rookie out of the gate and I wouldn't be shocked to see him develop into a top 5 cornerback in the NFL by his 2nd or 3rd year in the league. if he can add more weight to his frame and continue to work on his ball skills, skies the limit on what he can do in the NFL.
