The Pitt football program saw its ninth alum inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame over the weekend, as Jimbo Covert earned enshrinement for his accomplishments with the Chicago Bears. The retired offensive lineman received his gold jacket on Friday and made a stir with his speech on Saturday, discussing his roots in Conway, Pennsylvania, and crediting Pitt for its role in his success.
