ATLANTA – The focal point of the Atlanta Falcons' offense stood with almost a full circle of media surrounding him Friday afternoon inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Kyle Pitts had just finished up practice and perhaps unknowingly walked into a different role than the tight end had a season ago.
With as much change as the franchise has had on offense this offseason – quarterback Matt Ryan in Indianapolis, an almost completely different receiver room and even his position group undergoing large-scale alterations -- Pitts has become a familiar face amongst unfamiliar faces in just his second year in the league.
