There’s plenty of similarities between Minkah Fitzpatrick and Terrell Edmunds. Both first round picks. Both second-year players. Both top notch athletes. And of course, both Pittsburgh Steelers.
Unfortunately, there are some key differences. What makes Fitzpatrick great makes Edmunds underwhelming. Not horrible, mind you, he’s far from a bust – Artie Burns is a bust – but there are obvious limitations. No play exposed those problems and the difference between Fitzpatrick and Edmunds better than David Johnson’s 24 yard touchdown. Let’s take a quick look.
Steelers are in straight Cover 2 while the Cardinals employ empty out of 12 personnel.
