Vs Series: Jessie Bates vs Reggie Nelson

[samhain]

I'm taking Bates. I'm somewhat concerned that his value to the team is underestimated. His ability to cover ground was possibly the best in the league for the position. He played a big part in this defense being able to hold down leads.

He's a player that doesn't have eye-popping numbers. Even so, he did a lot to keep this defense from getting beaten deep vs some very good quarterbacks.
