With the news of Florida Tight End Kyle Pitts running a 4.46 forty yard dash, they guys on Dukes & Bell talked about if this makes Pitts a player that is too good to pass on with the fourth overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft?
Bell talked about if the Falcons should consider drafting Pitts at four.
“The other thing that came out today is some interesting information which affects where the Falcons are selecting, now coming off news he’s run a 4.46 forty.” Bell said “If you’re not familiar he’s a big tight end, physical if you didn’t watch him in the SEC and Florida, does that validate us taking best athlete at four?”
Dukes talked about how unique Pitts is.
“It does, I know it sounds crazy, but Pitts is special. Not only is he a unique matchup problem, he’s got wide receiver speed with tight end size.” Dukes said “At 4.4 he can outrun a lot of guys, and then more importantly with his size he’s just bigger than a lot of corners he’s going to face in the league. He’s a unique matchup, you draft him, he adds something that we don’t have right now.”
