It’s hardly enough to refute all the stats TLL posted though. Nelson was pretty much better in every category.

I think Reggie had the more consistent career but Jessie had the better career year. The difference in the size of area of responsibility for these guys is big. Reggie had a ton of chances to attack the line of scrimmage and getting into the quicker passing windows he was very very good at this. Bates played a ton more in cover 1 he had the entire 3rd level to patrol usually this doesn't lead to lot of stat sheet years (the lack of pass rush probably increased his stats).
