The Atlanta Falcons made Kyle Pitts the highest-drafted tight end in NFL history and for good reason. Turn on the tape and it’s easy to see why the Atlanta Falcons were enamored with Kyle Pitts. He has the size of a linebacker, the speed of a tight end, and the route running and catching ability of a wide receiver.

There have been plenty of comparisons to who he could be.
