GAINESVILLE — Fully vaccinated and given the green light, Roger Goodell is ready to wrap his arms around Kyle Pitts during Thursday night’s NFL Draft.
The commissioner might be one of the few people able to contain Pitts as the unique and ubertalented tight end makes his much-anticipated jump to professional football.
How highly Pitts will be drafted might be the only intrigue surrounding the Gators’ record-setting star this week. He is certain to be early in the rotation to receive one of Goodell’s famous hugs reserved for first-round selections.
Once he exits the stage in Cleveland, the next step for the 6-foot-5 u215d, 245-pound Pitts seems to be a forgone conclusion.
