A key piece to the Cincinnati Bengals' success in 2024 will be the play of their secondary. It has to be better after allowing the most explosive plays of any NFL team in 2023.
Despite its struggles, there were some bright spots. One of those bright spots is rookie safety Jordan Battle. Recently, Pro Football Focus named Battle as the Bengals' most underrated player.
Zoltán Buday, the author of the PFF article, mentions how Battle became a starter in Week 11 and earned the ninth-highest grade among all safeties for the final eight weeks of the NFL season at 80.
