2. Kyle Pitts

Kyle Pitts enjoyed a breakout rookie season that helped establish himself as one of the top ten at his position. Yet there is still plenty of reason to think Pitts could put together another breakout year in his sophomore season.

Pitts had a great season though at times an inconsistent one. The amount of attention he dealt with often led to the inconsistency and demanded Matt Ryan throw the ball elsewhere. His struggles to score were noteworthy as well with Pitts only managing to catch a single touchdown in his rookie campaign.

He has the talent to be the best at his position over the next decade he is that special. This season Pitts is going to be Atlanta’s number one weapon and finish with a far more consistent season and improved numbers.

In year two he will establish himself as a superstar in this league and give Atlanta fans a player to watch in what will be a long season for the Falcons. Aside from his own improvement, the additions at the receiver position will be a huge part of Kyle’s leap forward in year two.

Drake London and Bryan Edwards are two playmakers Atlanta lacked last season and will give Pitts far more chances than he saw last season.
