I think everybody in Pittsburgh had a similar reaction to the Steelers’ blockbuster trade at the end of June. There was the initial wave of excitement when Jalen Ramsey announced his own trade on social media, but that was quickly followed up by mixed emotions when learning that Minkah Fitzpatrick was part of the deal. Alex Highsmith was among those caught off guard by the big change.
“I think I found out from one of my friends that Minkah got traded, so that was something that was definitely shocking,” Highsmith said via Not Just Football with Cam Heyward.
