In 2019, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ season looked lost after Ben Roethlisberger was lost for almost the entire year. However, the Steelers tried to remain competitive, trading for safety Minkah Fitzpatrick. It was a shocking move, but it paid off. Fitzpatrick made an instant impact and was one of the best safeties in the NFL. While he hasn’t been terrible, his play took a step back, resulting in the Steelers trading him this offseason. Former NFL safety Rodney Harrison thinks the Steelers are to blame for Fitzpatrick’s struggles.
“When Minkah [Fitzpatrick] was at the University of Alabama, he played over the slot, and he was the best DB in America,” Harrison said Friday on the Chris Simms Unbuttoned podcast to former NFL defensive back Devin McCourty.
