WR2
Competitors: Michael Pittman Jr., Zach Pascal
The Colts couldn’t have been happier to turn in the virtual draft card with Pittman Jr.’s name on it when they were on the clock to begin Day 2 of the draft. From his skill set as an X receiver to his mentality and work ethic off the field, Pittman Jr. was the perfect prospect from the jump.
While the majority of fans and analysts—myself included—believe the rookie will have a starting role from the jump, he will have to earn it. That means he will have to beat out Pascal for the X role on the boundary.
Pascal led the team in receiving yards in 2019 and proved he is a strong asset in the passing game. He won’t go down without a fight even if Pittman Jr. is considered the heavy favorite.
Prediction: Pittman Jr. proves us right and is the WR2 in Week 1.
