CBS Sports NFL analyst Bryant McFadden joined Dukes & Bell to talk about some NFL playoff action with the guys. Could the Falcons see Travis Kelce-like production from 2021 first-round draft pick Kyle Pitts?
McFadden was asked if the Falcons should get the same production from Kyle Pitts that the Chiefs get from Travis Kelce.
“We should, but it’s hard to really compare and contrast when you’re comparing a young tight end to a potential Hall of Fame tight end who has a Hall of Fame-like quarterback and who has probably one of the fastest wide receivers we’ve ever seen do it in Tyreek Hill,” McFadden said. “Travis Kelce will always have opportunities to shine especially in the red zone because there’s so many other things you have to worry about regarding Kansas City”
McFadden talked about how the Falcons can get more production from Pitts, especially in the red zone.

“Kyle Pitts is an extraordinary talent. I think we’ve seen a glimpse of that throughout his rookie year. To be able for Kyle Pitts to provide Travis Kelce-like numbers consistently, they have improve the offensive roster. Because right now, No. 8 is the guy you need to stop, and it’s rare to see that for a first-year player. But the talent is not the same as it is in Kansas City. Where if you devote all your attention to Travis Kelce you got the Cheetah wide open and we saw what he can do if he gets one-on-one opportunities.”
