In less than two full seasons, Minkah Fitzpatrick has made an incredible mark on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense, and the two-time All-Pro has done just as much to help his teammates succeed and develop on the field. With intelligence lauded as one of his best traits dating back to his time as a draft prospect at Alabama, Fitzpatrick is one of the rare players who not only has made his teammates better, but has made his coaches better, as well.
Even a man like his current head coach, Mike Tomlin, has learned from Fitzpatrick, entering just his fourth season in the league.
