Michael Pittman Jr. es traspasado a los Steelers antes de la temporada 2026

Los Pittsburgh Steelers adquirieron al receptor abierto Michael Pittman Jr. de los Indianapolis Colts durante esta temporada baja. Los analistas lo han destacado como un candidato potencial para destacar en la temporada 2026 de la NFL.

El analista de CBS Sports, Tyler Sullivan, nombró a Pittman como una posible estrella revelación. Pittman registró 80 recepciones para 784 yardas y siete touchdowns en 2025 con los Colts. Los Steelers hicieron el intercambio por Pittman para solucionar la limitada producción de receptores fuera de DK Metcalf, quien lideró al equipo con 850 yardas de recepción la temporada pasada. Se espera que Pittman sirva como una opción complementaria junto a Metcalf durante lo que está programado para ser la última temporada de Aaron Rodgers. Pittman previamente registró más de 1,000 yardas de recepción en dos temporadas, incluyendo 109 atrapadas para 1,152 yardas y cuatro touchdowns en 2023. Su habilidad para trabajar en el centro del campo se alinea con la preferencia de Rodgers por los pases rápidos.
