In his introductory press conference, Falcons coach Arthur Smith said he would adjust his scheme to fit the players on his new team’s roster. What he didn’t say was that his new team would draft a player that would allow Smith to run the exact type of offense he had success with in Tennessee.
The Falcons did just that when they selected tight end Kyle Pitts with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
Rarely is there so wide a consensus about the top non-quarterback in a draft class, but Pitts has essentially been unanimously touted as the clear top option.
