Minkah Fitzpatrick is the lone Pittsburgh Steeler to make Pro Football Focus’ 2022 first-team All-Pro squad. An unsurprising but equally deserving selection, Fitzpatrick is coming off a career-year with six interceptions In explaining the choice, PFF writes:
“Fitzpatrick is capable of game-changing plays, so his highlight reel stacks up with any safety in football. He doesn’t always play at that level, but when he does, he is an unquestioned All-Pro. This season, he generated six interceptions, four pass breakups and posted the best PFF coverage grade (83.3) of his career.”
His six picks tied for the league lead, the first Steeler to accomplish that since Mel Blount all the way back in 1975.
