Minkah Fitzpatrick knows how to make an early impression. Back in 2019, when he first joined the Pittsburgh Steelers, it took no time at all for him to solidify himself as a difference-maker in the defensive backfield.
Of course, just a few years later, all of those splash plays were gone. Whether it was because quarterbacks began simply avoiding the middle of the field, or because he lost a step, has been the debate for the past two seasons.
In his last 27 games with the Steelers, Fitzpatrick had a single interception and just seven pass breakups.
