Minkah Fitzpatrick

“There's not a lot of guys that are able to move around and do a lot on the football field, 'cause it demands a lot. When people say that you could do that, it's your teammates and coaches. They're saying that they trust you with a lot.”

“I'm chippy. I'm edgy, of course. But I'm not a dirty player.”

“I like a lot of schools for different reasons.”

“Preparing for a playoff game is like going through fall camp again. You're running sprints, going through extra drills and hitting each other over and over. It's tough. It challenges you. But with that challenge comes growth. It's that challenge that makes you who you are.”

“Who's out there on the other side, it don't matter to me. We just got to do our job.”

“We're in the NFL. Everybody that lines up across from you is a talented, paid professional, and you have to treat them as such.”

“It's the terminology that's the hard part to learn. But if you tell me to go cover the curl flat, I can cover the curl flat. But when it's green 72 right, that's a little bit different.”

“There's the good, the great and the elite, and I'm trying to put myself in the elite category.”

“There's a lot of guys that can claim that they were a Pro Bowler or an All-Pro or whatnot, but there's not a lot of guys that can say I did it every single year of my career or almost every single year of my career.”

“Every single year I want to just top what I did the past year.”

“If people are struggling with certain things, I want to be that person they can look up to and say he got through something in his life, and so can I.”

“I just have to do what coaches ask me to do. Do my job. I'm doing a pretty good job with that.”

“No chance that I would ever try to purposefully injure somebody.”

“I'm always going to bet on myself.”

“Every single year I want to get better and better.”

“Cohesion is extremely important in the secondary. It's not just about how fast you can run and how great you can play man-to-man. It's about how well you communicate. It's about being on the same page. It's about everyone seeing things the same way.”

“I'm a guy that's a competitor that's going to go out there and play the game.”

“I don't mind being around a whole bunch of people, but when there's a whole bunch of nonsense going on around me, I need to see a sense of purpose around something.”

“I think it's important to get your hands used to securing the ball.”

“I just love being against some of the best guys in the slot, some of the fastest, quickest guys in the slot. And you get to do multiple things: you get to play the run, get to cover, play the rush.”
