Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi revealed something pretty wild about one of his players when assessing how the team is progressing.
Narduzzi singled out redshirt sophomore wide receiver Tyreek Robinson as a player who had a strong camp both on and off the field. In the latter case, Narduzzi suggested that part of that was down to Robinson eliminating an alarming dietary habit.
“We’ve cleaned up some things off the field, little things he drives me nuts with, like eating fish out of the river. That’s not a good thing,” Narduzzi said.

Narduzzi added that the Shreveport, La. native “does some stuff Louisiana-style.”
It was completely impossible to tell whether Narduzzi was joking or not. If he was, his deadpan was so good that one could be convinced that he did, in fact, have to tell one of his players not to eat raw fish straight from a river.
On the other hand, maybe there is reason to believe it. After Xavier Legette’s confession about his diet, it does not seem quite as out there as it would otherwise. If Robinson has a good year, everyone might start eating fish out of the river.
Pitt is coming off an 8-5 campaign last season. There are at least some expectations for them, as they garnered seven votes in the season’s initial AP poll.
