Despite missing the playoffs, the Pittsburgh Steelers are well represented among the AFC All-Pro roster. This is particularly the case on defense. One Steeler who was named to the first team is safety Minkah Fitzpatrick.
The Steelers traded for Fitzpatrick after the second game of the season and it really seemed like Fitzpatrick was the spark the Steelers defense needed. In 14 games, Fitzpatrick had 57 tackles, nine passes defended, five interceptions, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries.
Fitzpatrick’s game was all about creating turnovers. And he was on pace for a historic season but failed to create a turnover in the team’s final seven games. Hopefully next season the Steelers get a full 16 games like Fitzpatrick’s first seven with the Steelers and not the last seven.
