Reminds Us Of
Devin Sanchez's high end combination of size, length and top-end speed reminds us of Christian Gonzalez. Both have similar stature, length and athleticism at the same stage. Gonzalez was thicker and played more on offense and special teams, while Sanchez is more polished as a corner at the same stage.
