CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Pittsburgh safety Donovan McMillon said his experience as a wrestler still impacts how he plays football. McMillon led Pitt with 105 tackles last season, the most for a Pitt defender since 2015. He compared tackling in 1-on-1 situations to using angles and getting leverage while tussling with a foe on the wrestling mat. McMillon started wrestling when he was 5 and was a high-school standout. He started his college career at Florida before returning to his home state to play for the Panthers.
