The Atlanta Falcons have added some elite talent at the offensive skill positions over the last three offeasons. Tight end Kyle Pitts is one of the NFL’s budding stars, wideout Drake London broke franchise records as a rookie last season, and running back Bijan Robinson is the icing on the cake.
Barring injury, Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder should have no shortage of weapons to rely on this season. Pitts didn’t get the chance to play with Ridder in 2022, but the third-year tight end is confident in his quarterback.
Pitts joined NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football” to discuss Ridder’s leadership and Robinson’s impact on Thursday. Watch the clip below, as shared by GMFB’s Twitter account.

Pitts and Ridder went viral for an incompletion during a drill at Monday’s practice, but that’s to be expected as the two have very little experience playing together.
The Falcons still have some time to work out the kinks before their first preseason game against the Miami Dolphins on August 11.
