Given Turnover In Secondary, Minkah Fitzpatrick’s Leadership And Play Will Be Vital To Steelers’ Success

The Pittsburgh Steelers had a lot of turnover in the secondary this offseason. Out went starters like cornerbacks Cameron Sutton, Arthur Maulet, and safety Terrell Edmunds and in came cornerbacks Patrick Peterson, Joey Porter Jr. and safety Keanu Neal. Only two full-time starters from last season are returning in the secondary this season: safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and cornerback Levi Wallace. For Pittsburgh to be successful this season it will be vital that Fitzpatrick has one of his best seasons to date.

Since arriving to the Steel City in fall 2019, Fitzpatrick has been a game breaker who turned a porous Pittsburgh secondary into an elite one.
