Check out the sights and sounds of Day 7 of Pitt football training camp. Special teams coach Andre Powell led a punt block drill while defensive line coach Charlie Partridge put his men through the paces.

**For the second time in a week, defensive end Rashad Weaver was named the Pitt defensive player of the day. Sure looks like he’s making a push for that defensive end spot opposite Dewayne Hendrix.
