Julian Roosevelt Pittman (born May 22, 1975) is a former professional American football defensive end in the National Football League. He played with the New Orleans Saints in 1998.

In the beginning of his senior year in September 1997, Pittman was charged with burglary and threft when he allegedly broke into a girlfriend’s apartment, and as a result he was given a 30-day jail sentence and five years of probation, as well a suspension from Florida State.[1] However, he was later reinstated and played the last four games of the 1997 season, including the Sugar Bowl.[2]

In May 1998, he allegedly committed sexual battery in a bar in Tallahassee, which constituted a probation violation.[3] Facing potentially three and a half years in prison, he was instead ordered to pay a $5,000 fine and perform 500 hours of community service.<ref>[http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-53237602.html Former Florida State and current Saints player Julian Pittman is free
