Pitt saw three of its linebackers work out during its pro day Monday for NFL scouts, but now younger players at the position like Bangally Kamara and Solomon DeShields are looking to set a new tone for the position.
John Petrishen, Phil Campbell and Chase Pine each ran and did linebacker drills Monday, with Petrishen leading the group in overall performance. None are expected to be major draft picks, but combined between them shared 13 years of playing for Pitt football. That kind of experience is valuable and helped Pitt's defense finish sixth-best in the country against the run and have the second-most sacks in all of college football.
