Fitzpatrick named to PFWA All-NFL team, Highsmith named All-AFC

The accolades keep coming for Minkah Fitzpatrick. And now, Alex Highsmith joins the fun as well.

The PFWA announced on Monday the All-NFL, All-AFC and All-NFC teams for the 2022 season, and Fitzpatrick was the only Steelers player named to the All-NFL team. However, Highsmith was recognized for his performance by being named to the All-AFC team.

In his fifth NFL season, Fitzpatrick finished in a four-way tie for the league lead with six interceptions. He also tallied 96 tackles, 11 passes defended and a touchdown on the very first pass the Steelers' defense saw this season.
