I remember debating with some people pre-season about the "bold predictions" and that it wasn't that bold saying Bates would be a top safety. He still has room to improve and may even become the top safety in the league before his career is over.

Yeah, I will eat crow on that one. I argued that was one of the more bold predictions. But outside of an occasional bad game where he seems to forget how to tackle he’s been a stud.

I thought he’d be good, but I never dreamed he could be in the conversation for best FS in the league. If he can get better at wrapping up big RB’s he will be an absolute game changer back there. Henry should be a big test for him Sunday...
