Minkah Fitzpatrick was named to his second, First-Team All-Pro yesterday. And in doing so, made some history. Fitzpatrick is the first Steeler to make multiple, First-Team All-Pro teams before age 25.
No other Steeler has done it before. Not Joe Greene. Not Jack Ham. Not Troy Polamalu. Not Ernie Stautner. Just Fitzpatrick.
It is worth noting Jerome Bettis did it but his first All-Pro bid came with the Los Angeles Rams in 1993. He did it with Pittsburgh again in 1996. Ditto with Byron “Whizzer” White, who did it once with the Steelers and Detroit Lions before turning the big 2-5.
