Pitt WR Bub Means Declares for 2024 NFL Draft

Pitt will need to replace their top receiver from this past season.

As expected, Bub Means has made the decision to enter the 2024 NFL Draft. The two year starter for Pitt really took his game to another level in the second half of the season, finishing this season with 41 receptions for 721 yards and 6 touchdowns. In 2022, Means had just 27 receptions for 401 yards and 2 touchdowns.

In making this decision, Means released this statement:

”First of all, I would like to thank God because without him and my faith, I am nothing. Secondly, I would like to thank all the coaches, trainers, and staff on each of the football programs that I had a chance to be a part of. I’ve learned a lot over these past years. Third, I would like to thank my friends and family for their ongoing love and support throughout this journey. It’s been an honor and pleasure to attend this university and be a part of this prestigious football program. With that being said, I will be declaring for the 2024 NFL Draft.”

With the departure of Means, the young receivers that Pitt brought in this season (Kenny Johnson, Zion Fowler El, Israel Polk, Lamar Seymore) will be looked upon to step up. Konata Mumpfield and Daejon Reynolds will be the leaders of Pitt’s 2024 wide receiving corps. Look for Pitt to try and bring in a receiver via the transfer portal.
