Michael Pittman Jr. Can Make an Immediate Impact with Indianapolis Colts

With the 34th pick, the Indianapolis Colts selected USC receiver Michael Pittman Jr., adding a valuable weapon to the arsenal for new quarterback Philip Rivers.

The 6'4" Pittman -- the son of former NFL running back Michael Pittman - saw his stock rise in 2019 as his production gained a significant boost from USC offensive coordinator Graham Harrell's air raid system and the emergence of freshman quarterback Kedon Slovis. Pittman posted a career-high 101 receptions, including 11 touchdowns during his breakout campaign.

How He Wins

Pittman's strength is his ability to consistently come down with the ball when it's within reach.
