A little love for Minkah he's getting tons of national recognition for his performance last night: I like Peter Burns comment below.. Minkah was the 25th best receiver in FBS this week..(but he's a cornerback)....
From ProbFootball Focus article:
"Top defensive grades:
CB Minkah Fitzpatrick, 88.7
LB Shaun Dion Hamilton, 83.9
ED Tim Williams, 82.5
ED Terrell Hall, 81.8
S Ronnie Harrison, 80.3
Pressure, pressure, pressure
What Alabama did to Arkansas quarterback Austin Allen on Saturday night really can’t be overstated. Allen dropped back to pass 61 times, and was under pressure on 42 of those plays. That’s 68.9 percent of his dropbacks. To put that into context, Allen was pressured on 37.8 percent of his dropbacks through the first five weeks of the season — one of the highest rates in the nation. Combined, the Alabama defense finished the game with 46 total pressures, including seven sacks and nine quarterback hits. Seven different players registered at least four pressures, including backup edge defender Terrell Hall, who managed to register a sack and four hurries, despite rushing the passer just eight times. One of the most dominant team performances you’ll ever see from a pass-rushing standpoint, they made life miserable for the Arkansas quarterback. CB Minkah Fitzpatrick earned the highest grade of the game, including his 100-plus-yard interception return for a touchdown.
