Who is Michael Pittman Jr.'s father, Michael Pittman Sr?

Former NFL football player Michael Pittman Sr. was a running back. Before being chosen in the fourth round of the 1998 NFL Draft by the Arizona Cardinals, he was an offensive weapon for the Fresno State Bulldogs.

During his 11-year NFL career, Pittman Sr. ran for 5,627 yards and 25 scores while playing for the Denver Broncos, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Cardinals. In Super Bowl XXXVII, he helped the Buccaneers beat the Las Vegas Raiders 48–21 by running for 124 yards.

Moreover, he played for teams led by some of the NFL's top young and experienced coaches, including Sean McVay, Kyle Shanahan and Jon Gruden.

Since he was six, Pittman Jr. wanted to be a running back because of his father. In fact, he adopted his father's NFL uniform, wearing the No. 32. He thought that by going to the NFL, he would continue his father's legacy.

Pittman Sr. persuaded his son to switch to wide receiver because he was becoming too tall to play running back. Pittman Jr. remarked:

"He told me one day I'd be one of the best college receivers in the nation," according to ESPN.
