Film Room: The Interchangeable Skills Of Minkah Fitzpatrick And Damontae Kazee

Since arriving in Pittsburgh via trade in 2019, Minkah Fitzpatrick’s presence has transformed the Steelers’ pass defense, helping establish a takeaway-oriented mindset to complement the unit’s already dominant pass rush. In total, across four seasons since coming over from Miami, Fitzpatrick has accounted for 299 tackles, four tackles for losses, two quarterback hits, three forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries (77 return yards), 17 interceptions (383 return yards), 38 passes defended, and four total defensive touchdowns. Arguably the game’s best safety during that stretch, he has been recognized as a first-team All-Pro in three of his four seasons in Pittsburgh.
