FSU football: How Mycah Pittman differs from Andrew Parchment
By Kelvin Hunt
Physical and Strong Hands
One of the first things that stick out when I watch Mycah Pittman’s film is his build and hands. He checks in at a compact 5’10” and 205 pounds and seems to catch everything in his vicinity with strong hands.
Although he’s not the biggest guy, I rarely saw him lose 50/50 balls, and he usually got yards after the catch. It’s not a slight to Parchment, but he wasn’t the biggest receiver and was inconsistent when a play depended on him to win a one-on-one matchup.
If you watched the video on why Pittman left Oregon, you can tell he has the mindset of wanting to be the guy to make a play.
Pittman isn’t a burner, and he’s more quick than fast. However, he’s the type of player that can use his strength and quickness to win a battle off the line of scrimmage. It’s why you see him making catches over the middle in traffic or wide open because his route was fairly clean. Pittman can be effective in the screen game as well. That versatility will be something that can help keep defenses off balance.
