Minkah Fitzpatrick: Trade To Steelers Helped Expedite My Growth And Development

It’s probably a good sign when the guy that you gave up a first-round pick two games into a season for ends up finishing the year as a first-team All-Pro, with respect to anticipating your return on investment. The Pittsburgh Steelers were thoroughly doubted and questioned when they gave that up for Miami Dolphins safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, but there’s almost nobody questioning it now.

As mentioned, Fitzpatrick received first-team All-Pro honors for his second season in the NFL, after being selected 11th overall in the 2018 NFL Draft. He intercepted five passes and recovered a couple of fumbles, in addition to causing one, in his time with the Steelers, returning one of each for a touchdown.
