Jordan Battle is a senior defensive back that played more than 50 games for the Crimson Tide. On a talented Alabama defense, Battle has emerged as one of the leaders, both vocally and also with his high-level play on the field. Battle is a versatile defensive back that has played both strong and free safety, in one-high or two-high schemes, while also aligning in the nickel position and playing in the box. At each position, Battle has made high-IQ plays and makes plays in both the run game and pass game.

Battle appears to have good overall size and length that combined with his fluid movement skills give him a lot of tackling range as a run defender. Battle has the ability to close quickly from distance (10-15 yards) and make technically-sound tackles on runners. Battle also shows to have a physical temperament and an aggressive nature to his game. When he can properly line up the ball carrier, he will seek the big hit. In today’s game where the screen game is an extension of the run game, Battle does a good job of quickly diagnosing developing screen plays and accelerating to disrupt the play with physical play. Battle’s IQ, athleticism, and physicality make him a high-level run defender.

In pass coverage, there are many things to like about Battle as a defensive back. Battle appears to have fluid hips that allow for him to make smooth transitions when he has to flip his hips and run with defenders. He also shows to have plus-level speed in that he can carry receivers vertically and run with them stride for stride down the field. But Battle’s best plays come when he can play 10-12 yards off the ball in a flat foot read and play the robber role to read and diagnose route combinations. From this position, Battle can jump routes to make the interception, or he can deliver the big hit to receivers on crossing routes. Battle has sideline-to-sideline speed, which shows he has good range to make plays on the football. Battle moved from taking most of his snaps closer to the line of scrimmage to playing the free safety position, which affected his overall ball production, but the athletic ability is still present in Battle’s game.
