Cincinnati Bengals rookie safety Jordan Battle caps off his stellar debut season with an honor.
The Professional Football Writers of America (PFWA) just issued its annual honors and All-Rookie team, where Battle gets the nod as the first safety listed.
It’s a nice highlight for Battle, who emerged as a player earning more snaps by the week while overtaking veteran Nick Scott. He finished the year fifth on the team in total tackles with 71, recording two sacks, five passes defended and one interception in the process.
The honor is a result of the performance that suggests Battle has a bright future as a key cog in the secondary alongside former first-rounder Dax Hill.
