What To Expect From Michael Pittman Jr. In 2020
Quite simply, the expectations should be tempered, but relatively high. The Colts drafted Pittman to play early on in his career. It is obvious that they envision a role for him right off the bat.
Pittman has the potential to become a legitimate No. 1 target in the NFL. However, he has the talent now to be a No. 2 option behind Hilton. Campbell may end up taking that role, but either way Pittman is going to be one of the top three wideouts on the roster.
ESPN has released their league-wide projections for every offensive player. They have Pittman putting together a very solid all-around season. At this point in time, the rookie receiver is projected to catch 45 passes for 613 yards and five touchdowns.
If Pittman is able to reach those numbers, the Colts’ offense will be in a great position. He will give Rivers another capable weapon and has a ton of room to improve in the years to come.
Indianapolis has the talent to be a legitimate playoff contender this season. Many favor them to end up winning the AFC South division title. Pittman will be a part of that in his rookie season.
Expect to see Pittman come in and carve out a sizable role immediately. He could end up being one of the biggest steals in the 2020 NFL Draft. The Colts nailed this pick and they could not be more excited to get their rookie wideout on the field.
