Listen to anyone talk about Minkah Fitzpatrick and the message is central. He’s a special playmaker. No denying that either – what he’s done in his brief Steelers’ career has been nothing short of remarkable. Lost in the interceptions, forced fumbles, big-play impact he brings are all the routine, overlooked things he does.
Fitzpatrick is a remarkably sound tackler. The numbers tell that story.
According to our Josh Carney’s Missed Tackles Report, Fitzpatrick missed just six tackles in 2019. That puts him at a 10.3% miss rate, one of the better numbers on a team who tackled well across the board.
