Minkah Fitzpatrick: ‘They Kept It Simple’ And Allowed Me To ‘Play My Game’

Minkah Fitzpatrick entered the 2018 NFL Draft marketed as one of the most versatile defensive backs to come into the league in years, not incredibly dissimilar to Jabrill Peppers in terms of the diversity in that which team could be anticipated to ask him to do for their defense at the next level.

The Miami Dolphins had exactly that versatility in mind for him last year when they used the 11th-overall pick on him, making him the first safety off the board, but it’s something he quickly grew tired of after they reportedly asked him to learn about six or seven different positions for the defense this offseason.
