Pitt's Konata Mumpfield Suffers Injury at NFL Combine

PITTSBURGH — Pitt Panthers wide receiver Konata Mumpfield didn't have the finish to his NFL Combine, as he suffered a injury late on.

Mumpfield participated in field drills and after he misjudged a ball Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe threw to him, he fell down and immediately grabbed his right ankle. Alex Kozora of Steelers Depot wrote that there is no knowledge of how severe the injury is.

He measured in at 5-foot-11 and 186 pounds, with his hand coming in at 8 1/2 inches and his arm measuring 29 3/8 inches.

Mumpfield didn't have the greatest showing at the NFL Combine when it came to his speed, running the 40-yard dash in 4.59 seconds and the 10-yard split in 1.54 seconds, ranking fourth slowest and eighth slowest, respectively.

He did far better when it came to the jumps, with a vertical jump of 36 inches and a broad jump of 10 feet and four inches.

Mumpfield did excel during practices at the East-West Shrine Bowl in late January, helping his draft stock then.

He will also have another opportunity at Pitt's Pro Day on March 26, as long as he is healthy and available.

Mumpfield hails from Hoschton, Ga. and played for nearby Dacula High School in Dacula, Ga. in the Atlanta metro. He only had four offers, with 247Sports and Rivals ranking him as a two-star athlete, commiting to Akron, his sole FBS Division I scholarship.

He had an excellent freshman campaign with the Zips, leading the team with 63 catches, 751 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. He also had three 100-yard receiving games, including career-highs of 11 catches for 121 yards, plus two touchdowns against Western Michigan in Week 10.

He received All-MAC Second Team honors and The Athletic, Pro Football Network and Maxwell Football Club named him as a Freshman All-American.

Mumpfield then transferred to Pitt ahead of the 2022 season, playing in 12 games, missing just one, and starting nine games. He made 58 receptions for 551 yards and a touchdown that season, including three games of seven catches. He also had a season-high of 78 yards and that touchdown in the Sun Bowl win over UCLA.

He then led the Panthers with 44 catches in 2023 and also had 576 yards and five touchdowns. His season-high of 99 yards on three catches came in a loss to then ranked No. 4 Florida State in Week 10, when he had an 82-yard reception. He had a touchdown catch in the win over then ranked No. 14 Louisville and tied a career-high of two touchdowns in the loss against Cincinnati in Week 2.
