The University of Pittsburgh has a unique circumstance with its practice arrangements as it is the only college team that shares a practice facility with an NFL squad. While the Panthers and Steelers don’t interact very much, they are still in proximity to each other at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex and players can naturally observe some of what is going on at the professional level. Pitt WR Konata Mumpfield made the most of this rare opportunity and took as much away from that experience as he could.
“Being able to see them practice the way they operate, the way they take care of their bodies and extra stuff they do, I definitely think that took effect on me for sure,” Mumpfield told our Josh Carney at the Shrine Bowl in Frisco, Texas.
