Kyle Pitts

Strengths:

  • Can line up as a receiver
  • Speed is extraordinary for a player his size
  • Good route runner with good feet
  • Is an aggressive blocker and is not a one dimensional tight end

  • Is able to make good catches in traffic

Weaknesses:

  • Would benefit from becoming a more efficient and willing blocker

Overall Assessment:

As you can see, Kyle Pitts is one of the best tight end prospects to come out of college in a while. Pitts has almost no flaws from the tape I have watched, and brings just about everything to the table. You would assume a tight end who is as good of a receiver he is, may lack some blocking traits, however Pitts is just as good in that category when he does block. Pitts can do just about everything a receiver is asked to do, let alone a tight end. His speed and athletic ability for a player his size is absurd, simply put. Pitts can do anything he is asked to do on the field and can make just about any play. A team is getting an all around a true weapon by drafting him. Pitts may even enter the league as a top 10 tight end, which just goes on to show the talent that he has.
