Jessie Bates Article

I like his background on tracking fly balls in baseball, and I also like how he explains the defense they ran at Wake Forest in relation to his responsibilities. I really like what I am seeing in this kid and I am very excited to see if he can push for the starting FS position.

I love his ball skills. exactly the center fielder we need back there. the complete opposite from Williams/illoka. hopefully he can improve on his tackling

Hard not to pull for this kid.

Good read thanks.

Actually had Bates and Price in my mock draft, went nuts when they called his name day 2! Good size and was impressive at Wake Forest! Tackling could improve and I think it will.

I had Bates in all 3 of my mocks, awesome that we got him, Price and Hubbard who i believe to be a steal.

Bates is like a mixture of Reggie Nelson and Earl Thomas in my eyes, but like you said, needs to work on his tackling a bit.

Thanks for the article SHRacer, great stuff.

Seams like a Leon Hall clone Nickle/Safety type.

We were -9 last season in turnovers. Hope this young man can help turn that around.

The new website is horrible. It's like they went back to 1988 software. horrible.

I like him. He's a tremendous athlete, dedicated to his craft, yet humble and soft spoken. Kind of puts me in mind of AJ Green's personality.

If you don’t already like him there’s this...

I think you're in the wrong thread?

i can already tell this is going to be our rookie upset. every year we have one that lets us down. last year it was john ross, the year before that it was Andrew billings and tyler boyd.

he will be under utilized and average until the year before his rookie contract is up. then we will sign him to a big deal and he will go back to average. typical

Absolutely moves him up a few rungs on the ladder in my book. 

Could have even went higher if saying he was most excited about sacking Ben so hard his shoes come off and ball squirts out to Bengals.  

Or embellish it somewhat and say that 

he can not wait to intercept Ben. Then run him over so hard on way to end zone that he leaves cleat prints up his torso and his helmet flies off violently hitting Joey Porter in his bulbous head then ricocheting off his chrome dome only to strike Hines Ward in the stands knocking him out leaving a B shaped scar on his forehead where small amount of blood trickles out like Hines ketchup as PBS goes wild while fans commandeer steeler fans urine colored towels then shred them to pieces to use as confetti.  


Should be noted that the helmet had running english on it (for you pool players) that accelerates its speed coming off first impact (Porters head) before hitting pumpkin headed Hines..
