'My heart was moving faster than my legs': Kyle Pitts shines in Falcons final preseason game The rookie tight end made the most of his first NFL opportunity.
AUGUST 30, 2021 • ATLANTAFALCONS.COM
Flashes athleticism on lone catch Pitts caught his lone target for 27 yards in Sunday's 19-10 preseason loss to the Browns.
Impact Pitts was one of the few key position players the Falcons opted to finally play in the team's final preseason tilt. The fourth overall pick from this year's draft put his tremendous athleticism on display when he took a short pass and barreled down the field through a couple defenders for 27 yards. Pitts is a rare and exciting talent who could be primed for a huge rookie campaign on a team that just lost one of its top playmakers in Julio Jones this past offseason. The rookie will make his official debut in a Week 1 tilt against the Eagles.

Doesn't play Saturday Pitts is among Atlanta's key skill players who have yet to see preseason action, Jeff Schultz of The Athletic reports.
Impact Schultz suggests that players such as Pitts, QB Matt Ryan, WR Calvin Ridley and RB Mike Davis could see work on a drive or two in the team's preseason finale against the Browns next weekend, but that's not a lock to occur. In any case, given that the Falcons took Pitts, fourth overall, in the 2021 NFL Draft, it's clear that the team has big plans for the talented tight end this season. Though rookies at his position tend to be eased into fantasy relevance, Pitts has the skills and likely the immediate playing time opportunity needed to be an exception to that trend.
