  When strong safety Brandon Hill was told there's a rumor floating around the practice facility that his 4.34 40-yard dash time is the best on the team, he didn't disagree. "Yes, sir. Yes, sir. I can honestly say that," said Hill, whose speed and play in two seasons make him at least the equal of former Pitt safety Damar Hamlin as an NFL prospect. Hamlin was a sixth-round choice of the Buffalo Bills in the 2020 draft. "But we have a lot of fast guys on the team, a lot of depth, a lot of guys who can run, offensively and defensively," Hill said. "If we put all that together, we're going to be a great team."

Across the field, free safety Erick Hallett said he runs a 4.45 and remarked that every defensive back on the team runs a sub-4.5. "We can line up, though, and see who's fastest," he said, aware it's a race unlikely to get Narduzzi's blessing. Who needs a strained hamstring, right? Narduzzi likes Pitt's team speed, but he knows there's more to defense than athleticism. "If you go really fast in the wrong direction, you have problems," he said. "Speed is great. Athletic ability is great. But knowledge and technique you use out there (is also important). "The great thing about Brandon Hill is he's not a track guy. He's a football player. More than his speed, I love how he plays, the attitude he plays with and his knowledge of the game." - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
