TE Kyle Pitts better than just about every single wide receiver against press coverage

There was not much to like about the 2021 season which saw a series of change, roster upheaval, and general disappointment on the way to a 7-10 season. Tight end Kyle Pitts, the 4th overall pick in the 2021 draft, was a rare bright spot. He transitioned nearly seamlessly from blowing up SEC defenses to NFL defenses, with his elite 6-foot-6 frame and 4.44 40-time helping to go over 1,000 receiving yards in his first pro season.

In fact, he cracked 1,000 receiving yards in stunning fashion.

Pitts started out quiet, but really came into his own against the Miami Dolphins.
