(When I say lighter I mean from the last FB article)
Here is Chris Peak’s latest podcast from the Trib-Review that he recorded last night and posted today. There is always something interesting in these podcasts and I find myself constantly rewinding to make sure I get exactly what he’s saying.
Here he (tries to) list his Top five players on the Pitt roster going into the fall camp. He mentions how some players work out right away; SO S Jordan Whitehead for example, and some others take a year or two to develop.
Surprisingly he mentions 3* recruit WR Aaron Matthews as someone who was overlooked by fan’s expectations of who will make an early impact this season as a true FR… then says Matthews may not play this year (??). That reference is in context to WR Juwann Winfree bagging out at the last moment. Remember the Winfree of the suspension at Maryland, then over to CC, then pledged to Pitt, then off to Colorado?
Here’s a past article to jog your memory on that Matthews/Winfree subject.
But Peak feels that true FR WRs Flowers and Ffrench (sounds like good ’cause and effect’ on a date, eh?) are more likely to see playing time this season than any other FR WRs. He also mentions (now) SO WRs Quadree Henderson and Tre Tipton getting some PT early on last season and, in Henderson’s case at least, doing pretty well through the year. Even though Henderson contributed mostly on Special Teams he showed the speed and talent which could push him up the depth chart at WR.
