In his junior season at the University of Florida, tight end Kyle Pitts reinvented the tight end position and carried a juggernaut Gators offense to an SEC Championship.

Florida tight end coach Tim Brewster called Pitts a “generational talent” and likened him to a tight end he once coached: Hall of Famer Antonio Gates. The goal at this point, though, is to find someone that can match his “prototype.”
