Former Pitt TE Signs With Broncos
PITTSBURGH -- Former Pitt Panthers tight end Lucas Krull all players at his position in receptions and yards during the NFL preseason, despite playing in just two games, making him a surprising cut from the New Orleans Saints roster.
Turns out the Pitt and Florida product had plenty of other interested teams around the league because the Denver Broncos picked him up less than 24 hours after he was let go by New Orleans.
Krull concluded a strong preseason as the Saints' most-targeted receiver with a seven-catch, 106-yard performance against the Texans. Despite playing in just two preseason games, he hauled in 10 of 23 total targets for 136 total yards.
Krull spent two years in Pittsburgh and played the full season just once but was a valuable part of the Panthers' 2021 ACC Championship squad. He caught 38 passes for 451 yards and six touchdowns, the most scores by a Pitt tight end since Dorin Dickinson's 10 in 2009.
