The Atlanta Falcons' 24-year-old sensation, Kyle Pitts, selected fourth overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, approaches his fifth and final season as a rookie. The former Florida Gators star may soon find himself at the center of trade discussions unless a contract extension is secured.
NFL insider reports suggest that there's a burgeoning sentiment among league teams regarding the availability of the impressive 6-foot-6, 246-pound athlete, even if the Falcons aren't actively promoting him for trade. Insider Fowler mentioned, “I don’t think it’s a situation where [the Falcons] are aggressively shopping [Pitts].” However, he indicated that teams believe Atlanta might be receptive to offers. Although Pitts isn’t seeking a trade, a move to a more dynamic offense could appeal to him, enhancing his role beyond being a secondary option. In 2021, he did attract attention by clocking a remarkable 4.4-second 40-yard dash, a feat generally associated with skill position players. His rookie season yielded over 1,000 receiving yards, though he’s struggled to maintain that momentum amid ongoing fluctuations in the Falcons' offensive setup.
