The Falcons selected tight end Kyle Pitts with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2021 draft and it didn’t take long for him to show fans why he was the highest-drafted tight end in NFL history.
Pitts recorded his first 100-yard game in Week 5 of his rookie season, then followed it up with a career-best 163 receiving yards in Week 6 against the Dolphins.
As you await Friday’s preseason opener in Miami, check out highlights from Pitts’ 163-yard performance in 2021, as shared by the team’s Twitter account.

Pitts finished his rookie campaign with 1,026 receiving yards and one touchdown. The former Florida star saw his production dip in 2022 before tearing his MCL in Week 11.
If Pitts can stay healthy in 2023, expect his production to be closer to his rookie season.
