Michael Robinson makes a bold prediction for Colts receiver Michael Pittman Jr

A very bold prediction has been made about wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. as he enters his third season with the Indianapolis Colts.

Last season, Michael Pittman Jr. established himself as the No. 1 receiver for the Indianapolis Colts. Only in his second season, his emergence was vital for Indy because he was the only consistent receiver last year and the only one with more than 400 receiving yards.

In total, Pittman played in all 17 games and caught 88 passes for 1,082 yards and six touchdowns. It was a promising breakout season for the receiver that was selected in 2020 to be the future top wideout of the organization. Luckily, he quickly fulfilled that plan.

Now, Pittman is the veteran, and only established, wideout in the Colts’ receiver room. After breaking out last year, he will enter this season with many more expectations. Everyone is expecting another 1,000-yard season and some are saying he could be the steal of fantasy drafts. The latest prediction about Pittman may give him his steepest expectations yet.

Recently on Good Morning Football, Michael Robinson, or Mike Rob, went out on a limb to say that after the 2022 NFL season, Michael Pittman Jr. will be considered the best receiver in the league. That’s an extremely bold prediction considering that Pittman’s name isn’t even near the conversation right now.

Michael Pittman Jr. predicted to be best wide receiver in NFL

This time last year, not many were saying that Jonathan Taylor would soon be considered the best in the NFL. People knew he was talented but they probably didn’t predict the kind of season he had. But, after that special season, Taylor is among the two names debated for best running back in the league.

All it takes is one great year to get your name in the conversation and Mike Rob believes Pittman will have that year this coming season. A big reason why is the addition of Matt Ryan to the Colts. Robinson believes that the duo of Ryan and Pittman will be able to excel playing off the run game.

Highlighting Ryan’s accuracy and Pittman’s ability to go up and get the ball, Mike Rob believes that combination will have people looking back on this take in a few months and saying, “Mike Rob was right.”

Colts fans sure hope so. Since TY Hilton started to decline with injuries, wide receiver has been a weak spot for Indianapolis. Pittman has changed that since he’s arrived. He has already quickly developed into a No. 1 receiver, but if he can become the No. 1 receiver in the NFL, it would do wonders for the Colts.
