Entering just his second season, he's already considered one of the best tight ends in the game. It's our pleasure to welcome Kyle Pitts to All Things Covered for a great chat with Bryant McFadden. The guys cover how Philly molded Kyle as well as his favorite cheesesteak spot. They also discuss being the highest drafted TE in NFL history, how he grew through his rookie season and the key to finding the end zone more in 2022. Pitts talks about his current quarterbacks, what it was like to learn from Matt Ryan and a childhood encounter with Mike Vick. Pitts also shares his observations of Falcons rookie Drake London and expectations for the Week 1 matchup vs the Saints before diving into Superlatives (and his Top 5 TE list) to finish the show!
