How Christian Gonzalez compares to other top-rated CBs following NFL Combine

Christian Gonzalez got a “Year 1 Starter” grade at the NFL Combine. How does that compare to the rest of the CB class in 2023?

The NFL Combine is now behind us, which means that draft talk is going to start to really ramp up more than it already had over the next couple of weeks as we speed toward the month of April and, ultimately, the big day.

While we still have a long list of pro days to come at the top schools around the nation, offering players a chance to work out and show prospective NFL teams what they have to offer, the combine gave us a good early look at some of the best players in this year’s draft class.

Unsurprisingly, Oregon Ducks cornerback Christian Gonzalez had a great showing, putting up some of the best numbers of any player at his position and being named one of the biggest winners of the week.

How does he stack up with the rest of the cornerbacks in the class though, and where does his NFL Combine grade fall after all is said and done? That’s a question I wanted to know the answer to. To find out, I took the top 15 CBs in the 2023 class and looked how how they stacked up when it came to 40-time, vertical jump, broad jump, and overall combine grade. Here’s where it all stands in the end.
