Minkah Fitzpatrick is the first Pittsburgh Steelers’ safety to win team MVP since Troy Polamalu. So it’s little surprise to know Fitzpatrick models his game after Polamalu. Though the two had different roles and slightly different styles, their impact has been the same. Playmaking, game-changing moments and defenders opposing offenses always have to be aware of.
Speaking to reporters after winning the award via the team’s Twitter account, Fitzpatrick compared his game to Polamalu.
“Troy is definitely a guy, whether I played here or for another team that I definitely would model my game after,” he said.
