New Cincinnati Bengals safety Nick Scott had some interesting comments about his first impressions of Joe Burrow.
Now he’s done the same when talking about a guy drafted to help out his spot on the depth chart — third-round pick Jordan Battle out of Alabama.
Scott ran down the list of positive things he sees about his new fellow safety recently.
“He’s big. He’s got a big frame for a safety,” Nick Scott said, according to Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com. “But he can still move. Athletic. And he’s smart. He’s picking things up so far. We’re excited. I think he’s a guy that can contribute all the way. He can help us whether it be on teams or defense. He’s a smart player. Everybody has seen his tape at Alabama. He’s playing against the best in college football. He seems like he’s got a good head on his shoulders.”
It’s always interesting to hear what a guy like Scott has to say. He is, after all, a guy who just arrived in a program that intends to contend for Super Bowls. He also happens to have a ring himself after his time with the Los Angeles Rams.
As for Battle himself, he’s already said he thinks his time with Nick Saban at Alabama will help him quite a bit with the complexity of the scheme run by Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo.
If true, Battle will live up to Scott’s evaluation pretty quickly.
