He wins the comparison vs Bates in arm length, 40, 10 yard, 20 yard, 20 yard shuttle, 3 cone, vert, and broad. Bates win in height..by less than an inch...weight...by 9 lbs, and hand size...a quarter of an inch. And of course, Dax was drafted numerically ahead of where Bates was drafted...not by much...but he was.
He probably is, but he's lacks the NFL experience and smarts that Bates showed in droves during the playoffs. Dax definitely provides them with insurance, and maybe a better player in time, but does he provide that in 2022?
The single high shell that Bates plays well is a tough ask for a rookie. I guess time will tell.
