The Film Room: Minkah Fitzpatrick Is A Player Without A Position

Minkah Fitzpatrick is an extremely gifted boundary cornerback...who can also play strong safety...and guard the slot...and play in the deep middle...and dominate on special teams. Throughout the course of a single game he usually played all of those roles and more within Nick Saban’s defense, but now that Fitzpatrick is making his way into the NFL where the level of competition is exponentially more intense, and coaches around the league are wondering what position he will stick with long term.

Will he be a full-time safety? Can he try to stay at corner? Is he more of a hybrid nickel defender?
