Pitt’s end of the season won’t get any easier as they lose on their top defensive starts.
Pittsburgh Sports Now first reported that star safety Paris Ford has opted out of the remainder of the season and will start his preparation for the 2021 NFL Draft. Ford becomes the second Panther this season to choose to do this, as star DT Jaylen Twyman announced his intentions prior to the 2020 season.
The loss of Ford is a huge blow to Pitt’s defense as he’s been the quarterback and leading playmaker in the secondary.
This news has got plenty of Pitt fans voicing their opinion on Twitter.

That just dumped a gallon of gas on the small fire under Narduzzi’s seat.
