PITTSBURGH -- Former Pitt Panthers cornerback Louis Riddick has always kept a tight connection to the Steel City and he's strengthening that bond by putting his name on a new line of Pitt apparel, which will be released this weekend.

Riddick partnered with Mitchell and Ness to put his own personal stamp on Pitt jackets, shirts and jerseys and, after teasing the new products last week, has given fans a closer look at the new products on social media. The line of clothing will officially go on sale this weekend outside Acrisure Stadium before kickoff of the Pitt spring football game.

Riddick began his college football career as a running back but quickly switched to corner back after seeing only limited action in his first season of college football. Two years, 21 games and a pair of interceptions later, Riddick was drafted in the ninth round of the 1991 Draft by the San Francisco 49ers. 

After six years in the NFL split between the Falcons, Browns and Raiders, Riddick retired and is now all the way in on a successful broadcasting career. He's worked as a commentator on ESPN's NFL and college football coverage and has even been interviewed for a handful of front office jobs in the NFL in recent years.
