When the Pittsburgh Steelers traded for Minkah Fitzpatrick in 2019, it felt like a significant franchise shift. It all but guaranteed that the following draft the Steelers would not have a first-round pick for the first time since 1967. That showed just how highly they thought of Fitzpatrick. Almost immediately, it looked like a genius move. Fitzpatrick gave the Steelers an instant boost, being named a first-team All-Pro. However, going into 2025, he might be the Steeler facing the most pressure.
Last year, Fitzpatrick played in all 17 games, making the Pro Bowl, but he only forced two turnovers.
