Dolphins at Steelers Monday Night Football Preview: A look at Minkah Fitzpatrick’s move to Pittsburgh

With the 11th pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins selected Alabama defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick. A jack-of-all-trades, Fitzpatrick could help Miami at free safety, strong safety, boundary cornerback, nickel cornerback, and even at linebacker. He was the perfect Swiss Army Knife for a defense that value versatility and being able to move players around without changing personnel on the field.

Everything about Fitzpatrick was exactly what Miami, even with a new coaching staff entering 2019, wanted.

Tonight, when he takes the field on Monday Night Football, Fitzpatrick will primarily be playing free safety, but he will likely move around a few times throughout the game.
