2020 Steelers’ Futures Report: S John Battle

As we’ve done in previous years, we’re taking a look at those Pittsburgh Steelers under futures contracts for the 2020 offseason. We’ll focus this on the future players who spent no or limited time on the team during 2019. Back with another futures report today.

John Battle/S LSU – 6’2 206

Battle is your classic thumping safety. Good size. Power 5. That’s the type of guy the Steelers aim for in building their offseason roster.

He was a three year starter for LSU, making 28 total starts. Production was relatively modest. 143 tackles over that time with five interceptions and two forced fumbles.
