  Draft Scout by Conference









  Pitt senior cornerback Damarri Mathis vows never to box again - even as a conditioning exercise - after suffering a season-ending shoulder injury last year while working out at home. "No one ever heard that story?" coach Pat Narduzzi said during his post-practice news conference. "So, you know how kids are. You have those boxing things, you punch the hands (of a partner). It wasn't really in a ring or anything, but just sparring, I guess, and just working on your hand quickness and all that stuff in his front yard - not with (Pitt strength coach Michael Stacchiotti)." Apparently, Mathis missed the hands. "You talk to boxers. You can dislocate your shoulder from, must have missed the hand, I guess, I don't know," Narduzzi said. Mathis, who is fully recovered, said he never has boxed in a real match, and doesn't plan to take up the sport.

"Boxing, I'm done with that. None of that," he said. "Anything from now on that I do is only football-related. I'm sticking to that. Just conditioning." If not for the injury, Mathis might be in the NFL this season. From 2017-19, he played in 36 games, with 12 starts and three interceptions. "Pretty good corner," Narduzzi said. "We're just getting him back into great football shape. We're happy where he is. Again, it was an innocent mistake. He's working to get better. He's just not allowed to box anymore." - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
