The Michael Pittman Interview

Michael Pittman is a veteran of the game, having spent ten seasons in the league. He had over 5000 yards over his career during which he spent time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Denver Broncos and the Arizona Cardinals. He won a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2002, and after a rocky first season with the team, he ended up rushing for over 120 yards on 30 carries. His 5 year stint with the Buccaneers led to him being named their running back of the 2000s.

I will be interviewing Michael soon, so send in your questions quickly, anything about being a running back, playbook or about the teams he played for.

Where does he keep his Superbowl ring? How often is it worn!

You are often said to be amongst the most 'jacked' Nfl players of recent times, how much do you think weight room strength translates to the football field?

Had sent the questions by the time I got the replies lads (there didn't seem to be interest on here so I thought it would be alright). Sent Mike another email with your one Dave. I asked one about weight lifting regiments Niner, would that do you?


If you want to see what Questions I asked I can PM you.

I love the way that "so send in your questions quickly" translated into about 4 hours!

Well Mr.Pittman was quite cool with me sending them whenever, which was great because he wasn't a guy you would want to mess with! I sent yours in on a second lot Dave, he might answer it keep the fingers crossed.

Wow just saw this -- was it posted elsewhere first and I just missed it?

Nope has always been on the AF section, happened rather quickly though, so short notice was given on here and I apologise for that. Got questions from myself and other sources one or two users on here too.

thats great, the guys a tank. Did you use twitter to get a hold of him?

I did, he seems to answer pretty much anyone, a sound out fella judging from this (leaving aside the incident where he may have assaulted his wife)

Apologies, for missing out on your question, although he does have over a 300lb bench press. He was on something was my guess.

Never heard of him before, but googled him. The guy is a freak of nature

I read he is Trent Richardson like, over 400 on the bp

He is over 300 at the moment as far as I know, but 400 while playing more than likely.


Still I think too much emphasis is put on weights in sport although that is a bit of different discussion.

Definitely. Although it is a bit of a worry when tackles like Mike Adams can't lift more than a 190 lbs receiver like Ryan Broyles. Just found this on Pittmans strength when I googled him:

He was only 180 lbs in college
