Few NFL prospects have entered the league with as much hype as Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts.
The former Florida Gator was a matchup nightmare in college and a tight end in name only. At 6-foot-6 with elite speed, Pitts was billed as a unicorn, a hybrid weapon too athletic for linebackers and too big for corners. That promise led to him being selected fourth overall in the 2021 NFL draft by the Falcons, which is the highest a tight end has ever gone.
Since then, the results have been...fine.
Pitts had a strong rookie year, finishing with over 1,000 receiving yards, but he hasn’t come close to replicating that production since.
