On Tuesday, Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick did a Zoom call with the media and talked about the potential of him playing multiple spots in the Steelers secondary.
“It doesn’t matter to me,” Fitzpatrick said. “I just like going out there making plays and being where I need to be, and last year where I needed to be was in the middle of the field. It worked out fine. This season, just keep doing what we need to win games. If that’s corner, linebacker, whatever that may be, that’s what I’m going to do.”.
I’m sure part of the reason this would even be considered is because seven games into Fitzpatrick’s first season with Pittsburgh, his stats took a nosedive. .
As Fitzpatrick points out, this was due in part to the lack of opportunities when teams started throwing away from him, but bit more scheme flexibility could keep him more involved in the scheme and allow him to make more big plays
