Atlanta Falcons: The terrifying fact about Kyle Pitts

The Atlanta Falcons drafted Kyle Pitts with the fourth-overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft because they saw a player who could dominate from year one in the league.

He did just that as he amassed 68 catches for 1,026 yards but only one touchdown. He will only continue to get better as the years progress, as tight end is a very difficult position to play in the NFL.

Everyone forgets about one fact when it comes to the Falcons superstar

The Falcons already have a top-tier player in Kyle Pitts, Cordarrelle Patterson and him were the two go-to players throughout the year. Pitts proved to be a huge threat from anywhere on the field and his athletic ability and size allow the Falcons to do anything they want with him.

One thing everyone is forgetting about Kyle Pitts is that he is only 21 years old, and will not turn 22 until partway through next season.

Think about that, he has already had a 1,000-yard year before he even turns 22 years old. Most players are barely halfway through college by the time they are 22.

They even mentioned in the Pro Bowl how Kyle Pitts is the first player born in the 2000s to make the NFL Pro Bowl.

This should be a terrifying fact for the rest of the league. He is playing a position that has been historically brutal to rookies, but he found a way to fight through it even though he was the youngest player in the league.

Just imagine how much better he will be a few years down the road.

Kyle Pitts was drafted higher than any tight end in the history of the NFL for a reason, not only because of his size, athletic ability, and dominance in college but because he is only scratching the surface of what he can become. He should be the favorite to be the best in the league in a few years.

The rest of the league better start planning how to slow down this talented player for the Falcons.
