Gonzalez is the first defensive player to earn Pro Bowl honors since cornerback JC Jackson in 2021, continuing the tradition of an elite secondary in New England.
In 2025, Gonzalez started all 12 games he appeared in, recording a total of 61 tackles, 10 passes defensed and consistently responding to opponents' primary threats.His production was a key factor in New England ranking seventh in defense in the NFL while ranking among the league leaders in passing efficiency allowed.
May has led one of the most efficient and explosive offenses in the NFL, ranking first in the league in completion percentage (70.9), third in passer rating (108.5) and fourth in passing yards (3,947).Under his direction, the offense ranked sixth in the NFL and seventh in scoring.
