When the Atlanta Falcons drafted Kyle Pitts fourth overall last year, it was the first time in NFL history that a tight end was selected in the top five.
Taking Pitts required the Falcons to pass on guys like Ja’Marr Chase, Micah Parsons and Penei Sewell, but that’s how rare the former Florida star’s skill set was believed to be coming out of college. It didn’t take long for Pitts to prove worthy of the hype, finishing with over 1,000 receiving yards during his rookie year.
