In the game between Utah State and Baylor, Mycah handled most of the punt return duties, including three kicks for 32 yards and a season-long 17 yards. But wait, there’s one more layer to his football journey. You might not be aware that he’s related to a former NFL player and is also related to the Indianapolis Colts player, Michael Pittman Jr. Before you think it’s an easy guess, let us tell you they are not brothers by blood. So what’s their relation? Let’s find out.

The NFL legend Michael Pittman, who played in the NFL for 11 seasons after being at Fresno State, happens to be Mycah’s dad. Let us give you a brief flashback of Michael’s football career.
