Jordan Battle, pictured at the NFL combine in Indianapolis, was a three-year starter at strong safety for Alabama.INDIANAPOLIS — The Texans are doing their due diligence with the safeties in this year’s draft class.
Safety is one of their bigger needs this offseason. While Jalen Pitre will lock down one safety position in his second season, the other is open. In Ryans’ scheme with the 49ers, San Francisco played a base 4-3 defense and ran a lot of Cover-3. That often requires defensive backs to be versatile enough to play multiple spots, including nickel.Battle played four seasons for the Crimson Tide, starting the past three at strong safety.
Brown had six interceptions during his redshirt senior season at Illinois, tied for third in college football. He also had 59 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery for a touchdown.
