The former Florida Gators tight end will have a similar season to his junior year at Florida. Pitts is a lock for 50-60 reception, 900-1,000 receiving yards and 5-10 touchdowns for the Falcons in his rookie season. The tight end will open things up for the other weapons that Matt Ryan has on offense.

If the Falcons end up keeping Julio Jones, Pitts will see a lot of attention and will have several opportunities to be successful. Kyle Pitts will give Trevor Lawrence a run for his money at the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award next season. The Atlanta Falcons just received a tremendous boost to their offense and their chances at making the playoffs in the 2021-2022 NFL season.
