CINCINNATI — The Bengals made changes to their safety depth chart following a horrific 2023 season and the underlying numbers show why.

Nick Scott and Dax Hill were among the eight worst safeties in the league at preventing separation and their performance at the catch point. No other NFL team had two players in the bottom-left section of the chart below.

Geno Stone was in the middle of the pack for this group and Jordan Battle had more than enough qualifying snaps to land somewhere but was not included for some reason. Check out the chart breaking it down from PFF.
