Whether you are a fan of the Steelers or not, there’s no denying the phenomenal season Minkah Fitzpatrick had in 2019. After beginning the season with the Miami Dolphins, the 22-year old safety was traded to Pittsburgh where he immediately made the start as free safety in Week 3 against the 49ers.
In his first action with the Steelers, Fitzpatrick recorded an interception, a forced fumble, and a pass deflection. But he didn’t slow down from there. Minkah went on to earn first-team All-Pro honors after recording 5 interceptions, 2 forced fumbles, 3 fumble recoveries, 9 pass defenses, and a defensive touchdown in his second season in the league.
