Ever since he was drafted as a first rounder out of Alabama, Minkah Fitzpatrick has been a superstar in this league. A New Jersey native, Fitzpatrick was taken by Miami, then traded to the Steelers.
He's been amazing for Pittsburgh and it looks like the team is ready to keep him in town for the long haul. Per a report, the two sides are working on a huge extension.

Fitzpatrick is one of the best defensive backs out there and the Steelers don't want to see him play elsewhere. With him about to become the highest-paid safety, few can argue he deserves this kind of money.
