Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez responds to trending social media topic
That has been the trending topic making the rounds on social media lately. Some are siding with the humans due to the massive numbers advantage, but New England Patriots All-Pro cornerback Christian Gonzalez picked the gorilla to win that fight.
"Ya'll crazy that gorilla winning," Gonzalez posted on X, followed by a laughing emoji.
It's hard to argue with Gonzalez considering the drastic difference in bone structure and strength of a gorilla compared to a human. A Silverback can lift up to 1,700 pounds on its own. That kind of power combined with ridiculous agility would make the gorilla nearly impossible to corral by the men in that hypothetical situation.
It's still an interesting topic to debate.
What say you? Who would win a fight between 100 men and a gorilla? Be sure and let us know in the comment sections of our social media pages.

Patriots rookie Will Campbell shuts up critics with newest PFF stat
New England Patriots offensive tackle Will Campbell has had a stellar preseason up to this point, and the latest metrics from Pro Football Focus prove it. Campbell is the only offensive tackle with an 80-plus pass blocking and run blocking grade, according to PFF. The Patriots' rookie first-round pick has an 87.6 run blocking grade and an 80.1 pass blocking grade so far this preseason. While PFF's metrics don't tell the whole story, they do indicate that Campbell is finding early success in the NFL. This statistic is great news for a Patriots team hoping their investment in Campbell to be their long-term franchise left tackle pays off. The position was a revolving door of players who struggled to protect quarterback Drake Maye and help out in the run game last year. Campbell could help bring stability to the Patriots' offensive line for years to come. A top-five draft pick ideally is capable of making an impact right away, and it appears Campbell is in line to do exactly that. Follow Patriots Wire on Twitter and Facebook.

Patriots veteran defender welcomes challenge of position change
New England Patriots cornerback Alex Austin feels confident in playing the slot corner position if the team needs him to move inside. Traditionally, Austin has played as an outside corner. He did play some in the slot last season. He played a season-high 15.8 percent of his snaps in the slot against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 15 last year, per statistics from Player Profiler. Austin impressed in last Saturday's preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings, when he gave up only one catch on four targets. It was there that he demonstrated his ability to play the slot position at a high level. 'I feel overly confident playing that position. I've learned a lot this camp by playing that position and by being in the film room with the coaches," Austin said on the Patriots Postgame Show. Austin offers the Patriots more size in the slot, and it's a wrinkle the team could explore in some games this year. Follow Patriots Wire on Twitter and Facebook.

5 Trey Hendrickson Trades Cincinnati Bengals Should Accept
Five months after allowing their All-Pro pass-rusher to find a new team, the Cincinnati Bengals are once again reconsidering Trey Hendrickson trades. Hendrickson wants a new contract, but after leading the NFL with 17.5 sacks and being named a first-team All-Pro, he's earned one. Set to have an $18.6 million cap hit, Hendrickson's current salary ($15.8 million) comes nowhere close to the top of the market, like Myles Garrett, who leads all defenders with an annual average value of $40 million. The Bengals are reportedly seeking a first-round pick, plus a young defensive player in exchange for Hendrickson. But that player does not have to be a pass-rusher to replace Hendrickson in the lineup. So, unless they're willing to strike a deal, let's look at a few potential offers the Bengals should be willing to accept for Hendrickson right now. Related: New England Patriots New England Patriots trade 2026 second-round pick + 2027 fifth + Kyle Dugger + Jahlani Tavai The Patriots shouldn't hesitate to present this offer, especially considering how Dugger is seemingly being prepared for a reduced role a year after signing a $58 million contract. The Bengals would likely prefer a first-round selection, New England likely won't be willing to pay that price knowing they're coming off having a top-five pick. Still, getting two immediate contributors on defense, plus a future pick that could land in the top 50, is better than having a disgruntled player in the locker room. Related: Indianapolis Colts Indianapolis Colts trade 2026 second-round pick + JuJu Brents + Samson Ebukam If there's a team that may be more comfortable meeting both the Bengals' asking price, plus Hendrickson's contract demands, it could be the Colts. It heps that their new defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo is who coached the Bengals' defense for all four of Hendrickson's Pro Bowl seasons. This offer could entice the Bengals because it offers what could be a top 50 pick, plus a 25-year-old 6-foot-3 cornerback in Brents, a second-round pick from 2023. Ebukam missed all of 2024 with a torn Achilles, but recorded 9.5 sacks in 2023, possibly helping replace some of Hendrickson's production. Related: Carolina Panthers Carolina Panthers trade 2026 second-round pick + 2026 fifth + D.J. Wonnum The Panthers are banking on potential from their pass-rush group in 2025. Yet, after a historically bad defense in 2024, the Panthers can ensure their group takes a leap forward by adding a proven pass-rusher who led the league in sacks. Meanwhile, the Bengals add two more picks to their '26 class plus a 27-year-old pass-rusher in Wonnum. The former fourth-round pick was limited to just eight games due to injury last season, but he still recorded four sacks. His previous career-high (8 sacks) came in 2023 (and 2021) with the Minnesota Vikings, earning him a starting job in Carolina, but they'd happily replace him with an All-Pro like Hendrickson. Still, Wonnum would be a worthy situational rusher in Cincinnati while still offering starting potential. Related: Las Vegas Raiders Las Vegas Raiders trade 2026 second-round pick + Malcolm Koonce The Raiders are already poised to take a big leap offensively after getting a new franchise QB and injecting Ashton Jeanty into the offense. But what about the defense? While he had limited participation last year, Christian Wilkins won't be saving them. So how about trading for an All-Pro pass-rusher who, like Maxx Crosby, can command double teams? Whether the Bengals prefer Koonce or 2023 No. 7 overall pick Tyree Wilson is up to Cincinnati's front office, but we felt like the 27-year-old veteran was a better fit. While he missed all of 2024 with a torn ACL, the 6-foot-3, 243-pound pass-rusher recorded eight sacks in 2023. If not as a starter, Koonce would at the very least be a top situational sack master in Cincinnati and there's still enough potential in the former third-round pick to enjoy an even bigger breakout year. Related: Green Bay Packers Green Bay Packers trade 2026 first-round pick + Kingsley Enagbare Unlike the other teams on this list, the Packers may actually be willing to part with their first-round pick. They were already a playoff team last season and aside from cutting bait with Jaire Alexander and Christian Watson's injury, there's no reason to believe this young team is suddenly set for regression. While this trade may offer less immediate upside, getting a first-round pick in return is incredibly strong value, even for a player of Hendrickson's caliber. Plus Enagbare is no slouch. The 25-year-old 6-foot-4, 258-pound outside linebacker is coming off a 4.5 sack season and could be primed for a breakout year.
