If you're keeping track at home, Kyle Pitts has improved his touchdown count by one each of the last three years: one touchdown in his rookie year, then two in 2022, and three in 2023. So clearly, in 2024, four is the goal. But when it comes to improvement, that's about it for Kyle Pitts because all of his other measurables are down since his rookie season.
I wouldn't necessarily say it's all Kyle Pitts's fault. When you take a look at it, he's had some questionable choices at the quarterback position, and his head coach was probably in a position that he wasn't smart enough to get in the first place. So where do we go from here with Kyle Pitts?
Well, you know what, this is basically it for Kyle Pitts. If he cannot get himself back to being a consistent tight end one in 2024, I guarantee the community at large will be done with Kyle Pitts and we'll just sit back and wait to see if that breakout ever happens. But keep in mind too that Kyle Pitts is on the younger side. He's only going to be 24 this year. He was 21 in his rookie season, and to have three years under your belt and to only be 24 in the NFL, that's pretty significant.
So when you take a look at Kyle Pitts this season, you got to understand he's in a new offense that hopefully utilizes him with weapons around him that keep the pressure off of him. He's got the best quarterback that he's played with so far, and he's got a head coach that understands we want to get the ball into the hands of our playmakers. Bijan Robinson is going to be a terror out of the backfield. Drake London should see an improvement on the other side. Kyle Pitts, he's really the wild card at this point. Are all of the pieces in place for him to finally have that career year? Absolutely. But if it doesn't happen and he can't get better than what we've seen as of recent, Kyle Pitts could end up going down as one of the biggest busts in NFL draft history.
