How Minkah Fitzpatrick can become Dolphins' 'Honey Badger'

DAVIE, Fla. -- Minkah Fitzpatrick just needed a few seconds to himself last Sunday afternoon after the Miami Dolphins' victory over the New York Jets, to take a few breaths and clear his mind.

He had just finished playing 65 of the Dolphins' 66 defensive snaps at three different positions. He spent time at four different positions in practice that week -- outside cornerback, slot cornerback, free safety and strong safety -- and he played just about all of them Sunday.

"My brain is fried," Fitzpatrick said, with a laugh.

Fitzpatrick is the Dolphins' most versatile defensive player, and he's just a rookie.
