My Take

Jessie Bates III earns my admiration precisely because safety is an unglamorous, mission-critical job. Out of Fort Wayne, Indiana, from Snider High to Wake Forest, he was a second-round Bengals pick in 2018 and now patrols the back end for the Falcons. Safeties are the last line, the players who read the whole field and snuff out a play before it becomes a disaster, so intelligence and anticipation matter as much as athleticism. I'm drawn to these quiet on-field generals who organize a defense from behind. Bates strikes me as exactly that kind of dependable backbone, doing his best work without the spotlight.
