5 questions for Pitt football spring practices: Will Mason Heintschel evolve? Which WR will step up?

Post-Gazette Pitt insiders Stephen Thompson and Abby Schnable identify five key questions coach Pat Narduzzi will have to answer during the Panthers' spring football practices. This show is presented by FanDuel. After breaking onto the scene as an unknown freshman, how will QB Mason Heintschel evolve mentally and physically in his second year under center? Who of Malik Knight, Blue Hicks, C.J. Lee, Bryce Yates or Tony Kinsler will step up to fill the wide receiver roles left behind by Kenny Johnson and Poppi Williams? How does a reloaded secondary shake out? Who of Raion Strader, Kanye Thompson or Shadarian Harrison ends up starting opposite Shawn Lee Jr. at corner? Are transfers Alex Sanford, DeMarco Ward, plus returners Cam Lindsey, Jeremiah Marcelin, enough to cover for losses of Rasheem Biles and Kyle Louis? And which freshmen could come out of nowhere to surprise us? Our duo tackles those topics and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
