I got a lot of heat for saying that former Florida Gators tight end Kyle Pitts was the No. 1 player in the 2021 NFL Draft.
I stood by my statement, and I genuinely believe that Pitts was still the best player in the draft even though he is not a quarterback.
Clemson’s former quarterback Trevor Lawrence was the popular argument against Pitts being the top dog, but I argued that there is a “franchise quarterback in every draft, but there is never a Kyle Pitts.
