Miami Dolphins defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick's mother, Melissa Fitzpatrick, blasted a Dolphins reporter Wednesday after he criticized Fitzpatrick's play at strong safety.
After Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel tweeted that Fitzpatrick "isn't playing well," Melissa Fitzpatrick responded:
minknmelissa@OmarKelly No you would never want to do that maybe it’s because he is not a ss and is being used to suit other people skill set not his own . But you know let’s just keep ripping him because we know it breaks your heart to do that
While Fitzpatrick is generally a better fit at free safety or slot cornerback, he has been used a strong safety by head coach Brian Flores as of late since Reshad Jones and T.
