Head coach Brian Flores said recently that Fitzpatrick can play anywhere and the 2018 first-round pick sounded less interested in knowing exactly where than he did a few months ago.
“The type of defense we’re projected to run, you have to be versatile,” Fitzpatrick said, via the Miami Herald. “You got to move around. I don’t think anyone in the secondary will be sitting in one spot. You could be in one spot in one game and in the next week, be in a different spot. No matter who you are, you have to move around, you have to cover guys in the slot, cover guys outside. It adds value to myself, to play different spots on the field. It adds value to me. It may be extremely tough and hard and taxing, but it’s worth it in the end. It’s worth it because you make more plays.”
