Michael Pittman Jr.

Michael Pittman Jr. is a Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver as of September 16, 2026. Pittsburgh acquired him from the Indianapolis Colts on March 13, 2026, in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round draft pick and signed him to a new three-year contract. The Steelers’ current roster lists him as No. 11, at 6 feet 4 inches and 223 pounds, with USC as his college. He was born on October 5, 1997, in Woodland Hills, California.

Pittman attended Oaks Christian School before joining USC. As a senior in 2019, he served as a team captain, earned first-team All-Pac-12 recognition as a wide receiver, was named USC’s team MVP, and became a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award. He also received the Pop Warner College Football Award and USC’s Community Service Award. The Indianapolis Colts selected him in the second round, 34th overall, of the 2020 NFL Draft.

During his six seasons with Indianapolis, Pittman developed into a physical, dependable target and a willing blocker in the running game. His style is built around his size, contested-catch ability, toughness over the middle, reliable hands, and willingness to contribute beyond receiving routes. Pittsburgh’s official description of the acquisition emphasized his physicality and fit with the Steelers’ preferred style of play. He is now part of the Steelers’ active wide-receiver group alongside DK Metcalf and other current rostered players.
