Listen: The Panther-Lair Show podcast - Boyd in the NFL and the top 5 Pitt players since Fitzgeral

[Chris Peak]

Thinking about Tyler Boyd a lot this week got me to thinking about his place in Pitt history - or, at least, recent Pitt history. So on this week's Panther-Lair Show, I ranked my top five Pitt players since Larry Fitzgerald (I cut it off there since Fitzgerald is too easy a pick at No. 1).

Here's my list:

5. H.B. Blades
4. Scott McKillop
3. Tyler Boyd
2. LeSean McCoy
1. Aaron Donald

-No offense, but your list is terrible.

1) Aaron Donald
2) Darrelle Revis
3) LeSean McCoy
4) Andy Lee
5) This one's tough, because of injuries. Dion Lewis, Jeff Otah, Larod Stephens Howling, or Jason Pinkston

-The guys in the Top 4 all have at minimum 3 Pro Bowls and are at the top of their position in the league.

My list is based on their Pitt performances. Not their performances in the NFL.

-If that's the case then James Conner is #1 by a landslide vote and to be honest its not even remotely close.

-1800 yards rushing, 26 TD's, 1st Team All American, ACC player of the year, and the single season All Time ACC record holder for TD's, which he smashed the ACC All time record for touchdowns.

How can you put Blades above Revis based on their Pitt performances?

Peak - you need a medical permit to smoke that stuff
