All of the players in the National Football League that came through the University of Alabama under Nick Saban had a reason why they chose the Crimson Tide.
When it comes to Minkah Fitzpatrick, the former five-star from New Jersey could have gone anywhere in the nation.
In the series, “Why Bama,” he said the opportunity of being challenged by the best competition and the chance to leave as the best version of himself were the two reasons that sold him on the Tide. An alumnus of St. Peter’s Prep School, Fitzpatrick was one of the most talented and productive defensive backs of the Saban era.
