There’s no question that Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick is one of the best in the league. However, his exact ranking in relation to the other NFL safeties has been a point of debate recently. PFF had him ranked the second-best in the league in its most recent rankings behind Derwin James of the Los Angeles Chargers. However, Matt Verderame of Sports Illustrated released his rankings of the top 10 safeties in the league and he had a different view on Fitzpatrick.
“Fitzpatrick tops our list because he is, at only 26 years old, on track to the Hall of Fame,” Verderame wrote.
