Maurice Ffrench is trying to kill time like the rest of us. Except instead of playing Fortnite or Call of Duty for an inordinate amount of time, Pitt's single-season receptions leader is lifting trash bags filled with books and running stairs, doing what he can to get himself ready for the NFL ... within the confines of an unofficial national quarantine. Ffrench is back in Pittsburgh. He left town on Jan. 2, a week after the Panthers' 2019 regular season wrapped up, to train at the Michael Johnson Perfo rmance facility in McKinney, Texas. There, he prepared for the Hula Bowl, a senior showcase game on Jan. 27 in Honolulu, and, perhaps more importantly, his pro day. A pro day that probably isn't happening. As previously scheduled, Ffrench returned to his old house in Oakland last Saturday ahead of Pitt's pro day, which was supposed to take place Wednesday at the Panthers' indoor facility on the South Side. But Ffrench received word from Pitt that the event wouldn't go on due to the COVID-19 pandemic. | | |
