Former Pitt player Jeff Christy, the football version of the utility infielder, apparently retired from the NFL. He’s also just been inducted into the Armstrong County Hall of Fame.

Christy was a four-year letterman in football at the Pitt, where he played five positions — linebacker, fullback, punter, right guard and left tackle. Christy was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in the fourth round in 1992. He played for three NFL teams before retiring.

Congratulations.

Tomorrow night is Pitt’s “practice” at another area High School.

The Pitt football team will take practice on the road for the second time this spring when it visits Thomas Jefferson High School on Friday, April 7. The Panthers will hold a two-hour workout from 7 to 9 p.m.

Practice attendance is free and open to the public. Thomas Jefferson is located on 310 Old Clairton Road in Clairton, Pa. In addition to getting a sneak peak of the 2006 Panthers, fans can purchase Pitt merchandise and season tickets. Concessions will also be available.

Directions to the high school are at the bottom of the press release.
