Jordan Battle admits joining Dallas Cowboys, Trevon Diggs would be cool
Former Alabama safety Jordan Battle could be a fan of joining the Dallas Cowboys. Battle’s former teammate, Trevon Diggs, is a star defensive back on the team.
Battle has yet to meet with Dallas while at the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine. But, that did not mean the scenario didn’t cross his mind.
Battle spoke about possibly joining the Cowboys as a pro.
“Alabama S Jordan Battle said he hasn’t met with the Cowboys yet, but it would (be) cool to link up with his former Tide teammate Trevon Diggs. ‘That’s America’s Team right there,’” Dallas Cowboys reporter Hailey Sutton wrote on Twitter.
Battle also would not mind joining the Miami Dolphins, the hometown team as he put it.
Battle confirmed that he did meet with the Miami Dolphins, who don’t currently have a first round pick due to tampering issues. So, if he does go to Miami it will either be because he slid to the second round or the Dolphins made a trade to go get him.
In four years with Alabama, Battle put up solid numbers in 52 career games. Battle had 252 total tackles, 143 solo tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, one sack, six interceptions, 10 pass deflections, one fumble recovery and three defensive touchdowns.
