Donte Jackson Leaving Minkah Fitzpatrick Box-Score Watching To The ‘Casuals’

Don’t come at Pittsburgh Steelers CB Donte Jackson with Minkah Fitzpatrick’s box score numbers. His zero interceptions, zero fumble recoveries, only a handful of pass breakups. For Jackson, it’s fantasy football junk that doesn’t capture Fitzpatrick’s impact.

“When you think about a player like Minkah and you only think about stats, that’s very, very surface level,” Jackson told Steelers Nation Radio’s Matt Williamson and Dale Lolley Thursday. ‘Cause he makes impacts in ways that people who watch him from home probably won’t even understand.”

Fitzpatrick remains in the longest interception drought of his career, now coming up on two full calendar years.
