Steelers fans were worried about Minkah Fitzpatrick early in the season, but here’s why he’s holding up his end of the bargain.
Minkah Fitzpatrick was an instant star after being traded from the Miami Dolphins to the Pittsburgh Steelers early in the 2019 season. In his first seven games sporting the black and gold, Fitzpatrick earned 5 interceptions, 8 pass defenses, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, and 2 defensive touchdowns. However, the splash plays did not continue after in the second half of the sesaon.
