Cincinnati is hoping to make a playoff return during the 2024 season

Pro Football Focus (PFF) has identified Bengals safety Jordan Battle as a breakout candidate for the 2024 season. Despite being drafted in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, Battle emerged as the highest-graded safety among rookies in the previous season. With strong metrics and impressive performances, Battle is expected to solidify his role as a full-time starter for the Bengals in 2024, showcasing his potential as a standout player.

Cincinnati is hoping Battle and Dax Hill can take a big leap together and come close to the heights Vonn Bell and Jessie Bates reached in the Queen City.
