Michael Pittman is a dependable, high-volume possession wide receiver... The highest grades received for the former Colts receiver are route running (15/20) and hands (19/25)... Parson believes YAC isn't a big part of Pittman's game and he's not wrong grading the receiver at 4/10.

Pittman ranked #46 WR with 73 grade; possession receiver with strong hands but limited YAC.

Ranked #46 overall receiver in Bleacher Report's film-based tier system with a 73 overall grade. Pittman is graded as a dependable, high-volume possession receiver who excels in the middle of the field on in-breakers and quick-passing concepts. His highest grades are route running (15/20) and hands (19/25), reflecting his instinctive coverage diagnosis and reliable floor. However, Parson grades his YAC at only 4/10, indicating yards after the catch is not a significant part of his game. Pittman is noted as a willing and effective run blocker. The Steelers added him specifically to upgrade their receiver room, and with Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy's new offensive system, there is potential for improved production despite the current ranking outside the top 35 receivers.
