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.
Who is giving these guys advice?
He’s the next Paris Ford.
Good luck dude, but your game needs more work.
I am guessing the 412 Alliance didn’t pony up enough cash.
I can’t imagine him getting picked early, an NIL deal would probably be more lucrative than a non guaranteed contract plus the perks that come with having guaranteed housing etc
Paris Ford was 3xs the player that Bub is. Delusions of Grandeur for Ol’Bub
Yeah I definitely think he should’ve come back especially with a new coordinator coming in. I know he had a strong second half, but with potentially Nate Yarnell as the starter and hopefully a modern era coordinator, his numbers could’ve gotten better, but I wish him luck.
I don’t think he would have any better situation if he returned to Pitt, bad blocker and inconsistent route runner/jogger and that can’t cut it at the next level
he has some talent and the NFL does pay for WR’s but my guess is his laziness will do him in, except maybe compared to Diontae Johnson maybe he’ll be just fine with limited or no effort on some plays 🙁
Really??? Who is giving this man advice? He may get a NFL practice squad deal at best.
Great guy, but very delusional. Good luck.
H2P!
He had no room or role for next year on the team. duzz and the 412 said thanks but no thanks
Not a big loss. Still upset with him for dropping that pass in the end zone last year against the vols. Not a fan of always going to the portal. If that’s the case why even recruit. Believe that the young guys will see an opportunity and step up.
Fine with me. He bailed out crossing the middle against the zone alot this year. I hope he went to class.
Greg Lee agrees with this decision.
