New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez is channeling one of the greats.

Before the Patriots host the Los Angeles Chargers in the NFL Wild Card round at Gillette Stadium on Sunday, Gonzalez arrived to the stadium rocking a Zdeno Chara Boston Bruins jersey: a classic Boston look.

Gonzalez is known to rep some Boston legends before games (Bill Russell, Larry Bird, David Ortiz and Ted Williams, to name a few). Add Chara to the list.

The Patriots went 14-3 during the regular season and won the AFC East division for the first time since 2019.

While the third-year defender is making his playoff debut on Sunday, Chara had 200 playoff games under his belt throughout his 24-year career.

Maybe Chara can share some tips and tricks on postseason success.
