New England also re-signed Kendrick Bourne, Kyle Dugger, and Mike Onwenu. They have a young roster that may be going through some growing pains next season but second-year Christian Gonzalez just gave the fanbase something to smile about going into the 2024 season.

The Patriots had mandatory minicamp from Jun. 11-13, as the final tune-up before training camp kicks off next month.
Gonzalez was back on the field participating in practice and gave some positive news regarding his health.
The 21-year-old revealed that he's feeling good and is glad to be back on the field.
He said, "It feels amazing to come out and be with the guys again." Gonzalez has been cleared to be a full participant on the field.
Gonzalez missed 13 games in his rookie year with a torn labrum that forced him to undergo season-ending surgery.
As a rookie, the Oregon product showcased he has the ability to produce at the NFL level. He finished with 17 total tackles, three pass deflections, and one interception.
In addition, Gonzalez finished with an 80.8 overall grade with a 79.3 grade in coverage. He now creates the starting DB trio of himself, Jonathan Jones, and Marcus Jones. Gonzalez's athleticism is off the charts and it's great to hear that feeling good again.
With a new coaching staff in place, they will need Gonzalez to hit the ground running and play like he did in his limited action last season.
