Konata Mumpfield Stands Out at the Shrine Bowl

Mumpfield has the opportunity to impress NFL teams on the field all week, leading up to the game on Thursday, and he will have the chance to spend time with NFL front office members and coaches all week.

Mumpfield started his collegiate career at Akron, earning freshman All-American honors in 2021, and he transferred to Pitt before the 2022 season.

He entered the program with high expectations, coming off an ACC championship-winning season, and while there have been ups and downs, Mumpfield flashed an impressive skillset all throughout. He’s not the biggest or the fastest wideout, but he consistently worked himself open in Pittsburgh.

He wrapped up his best collegiate season as a senior, leading the Panthers on and off the field as a team captain.

“He’s lead by example, like on Sunday, they had an all-players meeting, they had a players-only meeting,” wide receivers coach JJ Laster said last month. “So, they could talk about what happened on Saturday, and Konata was a part of it, he was one of the captains. So, he’s doing a great job of leading those guys, getting those guys to rally together and just say, hey, the season’s not over, we still got a lot of ball to play.”

Mumpfield hauled in a team-high 52 receptions for 813 yards (15.6 yards per reception) and five touchdowns this season. He recorded 154 receptions for 1,940 yards (12.6 yards per reception) and 11 touchdowns in his three seasons in Pittsburgh.

Konata Mumpfield looks the part of an NFL wide receiver, with four productive college seasons, elite route running ability and leadership intangibles. His stock only appears to be rising this week.
