Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. has apparently made a tradition of fighting teammates at training camp.
The 26-year-old wideout signed a massive new deal with the team this year and intends to show he’s worth every penny. And it appears he’s not so keen on getting manhandled in practice, either.
According to MLFootball, Pittman got into fights with defensive teammates both Monday and Tuesday this week. “Now has become a yearly tradition for Pittman to have multiple major fights at camp,” they added.
You can see a clip of Tuesday’s scuffle right below:

Michael Pitmann Jr. Is Looking To Go Next Level In 2024
Michael Pittman Jr. is aiming for improvement next season after putting pen to paper on a three-year, $70 million deal with the Colts.
Last week, the WR told reporters he is still “chasing respect” and needs to produce more on the field.
“The whole thing that comes with being an older guy, it’s like I’m known now but I need to get to that next level, that next tier,” he said.
Pittman has scored 15 touchdowns in his first four seasons and reckons it’s one area he needs to improve. “There’s things that I could do to be better in that sense,” he said.
In the meantime, he isn’t taking kindly to big hits.
