Going into the 2018 season, it was assumed that junior wide receiver Michael Pittman would be a prime candidate to leave USC football early for the NFL. A strong end to his campaign only reinforced that believe.
However, the junior had a message for Trojan fans on Tuesday: Not so fast.
“I appreciate that everyone thinks that I’m playing that well but I still have a lot left here,” Pittman said.
He hasn’t totally made up his mind. After the season he will submit his name for an evaluation from the NFL. If pro scouts give him positive enough feedback, he will consider leaving more closely.
