The Pittsburgh Steelers' replacement for Minkah Fitzpatrick, Juan Thornhill, is predicted to be the team's biggest bust of the 2025 NFL season.
As ESPN noted, Fitzpatrick has been on a steady decline the last two seasons. He was ranked No. 1 in 2023, fell to No. 4 in 2024, and now finds himself at No. 9. This dip in production, paired with his salary, is a big reason the Steelers felt like it was time to move on from Fitzpatrick and bring in cornerback Jalen Ramsey.
