Joey Battle has been a big versatile linebacker during his career. What that means is he has a nice blend of rushing instigks, tackling instincts and the ability to be near the ball in pass plays to deflect passes. He had the rate speed, strength and endurance you love to see in such a key defensive position.
So his dual skill to be a threat would have to he another position that offers the same type of versatility and usefulness and that is exactly what a tight end position is. It requries good block - both rush and pass - and good hands to catch passes. And in short yard situations they may line up on the line and play a full back position to either block or run for short yardage from the backfield.
Those are all skills that Battle thrives in and he can use all thosw physical attributes to play that versatile tight end position and adjuat with the weekly game plan.
