And we start the show with a moment of silence for Dennis Pitta.

Dennis Pitta was the first player deemed out for the season in 2017.

It was shocking that Dennis Pitta was able to make it back from multiple hip dislocations.

Essentially he broke his hip twice, an injury similar to what ruined Bo Jackson's sporting career.

logged a 77.5% snap share,

commanded 121 targets, and led the NFL in tight end receptions with 86. 86

receptions for Dennis Pitta. Ask any football fan on the street who led all

tight ends in receptions last season.

They would name 30 players before getting to Dennis Pitta.

I mean his yards per target was six, which was 46th in the league, so he was a volume-fueled, highly inefficient player in 2016.

That's why he wasn't being drafted in the top 20 tight ends in either dynasty or redraft.

This is in addition to 102 targets that Steve Smith took with him to retirement.
