Florida Gators in the NFL, Week 4: How to solve the Kyle Pitts problem
Photo by Todd Kirkland/Getty ImagesIf you followed along with us here last year, you know this space was basically a Kyle Pitts fan blog. How could it not be in 2021? Big games and highlight catches helped Pitts became only the second rookie tight end ever with over 1,000 yards and the first to pair it with over 65 receptions.
