“Here’s how to fight: You fight until they kill you, until they kill you and stop your heart, and then you let them carry you out of the room.

Pitt football has a long tradition of developing some of the best to ever play their position. Dan Marino, Larry Fitzgerald and Aaron Donald are shining examples of what a Panther at the next level could look like. This season, Pitt’s best chance at another NFL Draft selection is redshirt senior placekicker Ben Sauls, one of the nation’s best. Sauls was the only kicker selected to PFF’s 27-man All-American team after kicking 44-for-44 on extra-point tries and 21-for-24 on field goals.
