A pro present on NSU's Pro Day

This afternoon, 2008 Demon football seniors with professional football aspirations are working out for pro scouts at Turpin Stadium.

A Demon great who has been in the NFL for the last three years is joining them.

Cornerback David Pittman, a third-round pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, will be taking part in the passing drills to provide a high caliber of coverage against receiving hopefuls Dudley Guice Jr., tight end Kedrin Seastrunk and any other players, from NSU or other schools, who take part.

Pittman was let go at the outset of the regular season last fall by Baltimore. He was signed by New Orleans and spent a few weeks in Saints camp during the season, then was a late season pickup by the Houston Texans.

He is working out in Dallas under the direction of former Olympic sprinter Jon Drummond. Pitt, who graduated with a business degree from NSU in May 2006, says in his perfect world, NFL teams would first add players from their market areas. He grew up within an hour of New Orleans in Gramercy, and played at Lutcher, and would LOVE to play for the Saints. But it is a business, as he fully understands. He's looking for the right fit for him next season.
