In Cincinnati just like Atlanta, he was regarded as one of the best safeties in the NFL.
People also tend to remember him as being an All-Pro all the time, and that just wasn't the case either. Jessie Bates either played great or played poorly, and there wasn't much in-between. Playoff Jesse was great, head in a funk Jesse not so much. Remember when he lead the team in missed tackles????
