Minkah Fitzpatrick Has 3rd-Highest Ball Hawk Rating Among Safeties Since 2018, Via ESPN Next Gen Stats

Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick has already established himself as being among the best at what he does. He’s got the recognition. Now he’s got the contract. He also has the stats to back them up—even if it’s always the tape that’s more important.

Still, the stats are nice to look at, and the good folks at ESPN provided us with a juicy one recently shortly after Fitzpatrick signed his new four-year contract extension that averages out at $18.4 million in new money per year.

In a revelation that will shock nobody, the two-time first-team All-Pro has been among the most disruptive safeties in the league—when he’s given a chance.
