Pitt WR Stressed Out Coach for Weird Reason

Pittsburgh wide receiver Tyreek Robinson gave his coach "chest pains" for an unorthodox reason.

Pittsburgh Panthers' wide receiver Tyreek Robinson reportedly gave his coach, Pat Narduzzi, chest pains due to an unusual reason – catching a fish in the polluted Monongahela River. This was not because Robinson was partying, struggling with grades, or engaging in any other negative behavior. He simply enjoyed fishing as a hobby, which his coach found surprising.

Narduzzi, who described Robinson as a "country boy" who is "as genuine as you can get," noted that the coach was taken aback by Robinson's decision to fish in the river despite its pollution history. Robinson, despite missing most of the 2025 season, had a successful 2024, playing in five games and contributing as a kick returner with 182 yards on eight returns.

His career-long return is 35 yards, and he has several more 20-yard or longer catches. Robinson hopes to contribute more on the field this season, but not by fishing from the Monongahela River again.
