So much for the report on him struggling to play different positions.
Minkah Fitzpatrick mastered the term “versatility” in three years at Alabama. He was recruited to be a cornerback in the 2015 class, but Nick Saban had the former five-star at star (nickel), free safety and money (dime back/linebacker).
The New Jersey native excelled at each role and turned in a career that had 171 total tackles – including 16.5 for loss and five sacks.
His intelligence and ball skills set him apart as one of the smartest players of the Saban era, seeing how he recorded nine career interceptions.
