Fangio Two-High safety with interchangeable safeties, looking to create disguise and complex coverage shells off of similar pre-snap looks.
Immediate starter at one of the safety spots, with the versatility to play slot defender, and a ceiling to be an All-Pro playmaker.
A purely single-high post safety system that doesn't allow him to rotate and play closer to the line of scrimmage.
Fitzpatrick's versatility and football IQ make him an invaluable asset in a scheme that values multiple safety roles and coverage manipulations.
Selected #11 overall in Round 1 of the 2018 NFL Draft by Miami Dolphins out of Alabama.
