big-play Pitt target who turned 2023 into a breakout
In the 2023 season, Bub Means led Pitt with 41 catches for 721 yards and 6 touchdowns, earning Honorable Mention All-ACC while flashing a dangerous 17.6 yards per catch and proven downfield juice.[1][2] Evaluators liked his size-speed combo and boundary/slot versatility, but also flagged him as more of a Day 3-style projection than a polished every-down star.[4][9] If a team wants an explosive vertical threat with real contested-catch upside, he’s the kind of WR who can change a game in one swing.
