Minkah Fitzpatrick was more bystander than active participant during the Pittsburgh Steelers’ spring OTAs and minicamp. But he didn’t use the time to kick back and relax either. He was locked in, just from the sidelines.
That’s how he explained things to Steelers.com’s Mike Prisuta in a sit-down interview after inking his record deal.
“I didn’t want guys to think that I was shut off that I was relaxed and sitting back and enjoying the ride,” Fitzpatrick said. “I was still working out on my own challenging myself and myself and I was watching every single play, taking mental reps every single play.
