Michael Pittman, Top 5 on balls caught in 2023
With Michael Pittman, the Colts are sure to keep one of the most productive receivers in the NFL. Last season, Pittman caught 109 balls. Only four players did better.
Number 11 had 1,152 yards, which placed him 14th in the league. Because although he caught a lot of balls, his average per reception (10.6) was lower than that of many star receivers.
Pittman is still only 26 years old. Indianapolis therefore makes sure to keep him during his best years. The franchise selected him in the second round of the 2020 Draft.
Anthony Richardson, who is expected to return from injury in the coming months, therefore has a number one target at his disposal for the near future. For Pittman, a little continuity would be welcome. So far, the receiver has had a different quarterback for each of his four seasons in the NFL.
