Negative signalBust

QB instability (Jones to Leonard to Rivers) derailed Pittman's 2025 production.

The source cites Pittman as an example of a mid-round receiver bust driven by quarterback instability. Pittman switched from Daniel Jones to Riley Leonard to Philip Rivers in 2025, illustrating how receiver surroundings and quarterback changes can derail production and are harder to project than RB busts.
