02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The Bengals traditionally employ a Cover 3-heavy scheme with two-high safeties, occasionally mixing in man coverage and a variety of zone coverages.

Strong SafetyFree SafetyDimebacker
Best role

Rotational safety and special teams ace Year 1, with the upside to develop into a starting strong safety.

Wrong fit

A purely single-high safety system that demands elite deep-half range.

Battle's versatility and intelligence make him a good fit for a defense that values interchangeable safety play and strong run support.

04The evaluation

Selected #95 overall in Round 3 of the 2023 NFL Draft by Cincinnati Bengals out of Alabama.
