Summary

Theo is back for another STAY HOT SHOT to discuss whether the hype and record breaking ability ofKyle Pitts has merit. Starting with breaking down some of his film in college, Theo talks about how much of a match up nightmare he was. Then, he addresses the haters for taking him at pick 4 in the NFL Draft. Was he worth the draft capital and not taking a replacement for Matt Ryan? Mike Ditka is the last tight end to have over 1,000 yards in an NFL season. Can Pitts surpass Ditka and do it again with a 17 game season? Pitts is so intriguing because of his red zone prowess. Will it translate to the pros and can he replace Julio in that arena? Finally, Theo discusses what could hinder him from achieving his potential and buttons his thoughts with where he ranks with current tight ends even before he's taken a snap in the NFL! ⏰ CHAPTERS ⏰  (00:00) Intro (00:39) Pitts "Mossing" Everybody (01:23) Worth The Draft Stock (01:50) A Record Breaking Tight End?

What's up guys? It's Theo with another stay hot shot here today to talk about the

0:09.6

tight end Kyle Pitts. Now, Kyle Pitts is one of my favorite players in the league right now. He

0:14.9

was my number one prospect on my big board for this year's draft. And I want to talk about a

0:19.6

couple of things that make him so good and what we can expect from his rookie season. Well, no, it's gonna be a scary season. The next great NFL tight end is being hailed as perhaps the best prospect ever. I love you, Kyle Pitts. I want a Kyle Pitts jersey. I want a fat head of Kyle. And this guy is a matchup nightmare.

0:39.4

Now, I watched a bunch of Florida film for this draft cycle because of Kyle Trask,

0:44.0

Cadarius Tony, some of their offensive linemen, and Kyle Pitts himself. And whenever I was watching

0:49.0

Florida or any team really playing Florida, like Jamon Davis playing the Florida game for Kentucky's defense.

0:55.4

Anytime I was watching Florida in any capacity, it was hard not to get distracted by Kyle

0:59.7

Pitts making some spectacular catch, whether that be mossing Patrick Sertan and two other

1:04.8

Alabama defenders in the end zone, whether that be breaking off long yards after catch runs

1:10.5

or mossing people like he did in the

1:12.4

old miss game just everywhere on the film there are highlight plays that no one else in this

1:18.6

tight end class or really any other tight end class is making i think he was well worth the fourth

1:23.2

overall pick and although there were some criticisms about his blocking, I don't even think he's

1:28.9

all that bad there either. He's just merely okay at it, although maybe in the NFL that will

1:34.8

downgrade a little bit to bad. But you don't draft a player fourth overall to be a blocking

1:40.1

tight end. You draft him to be a spectacular receiving threat, a centerpiece in the offense.

1:46.1

And I really do believe that's what Kyle Pitts can be. That being said, the last tight end to have

1:51.0

over a thousand yards in their rookie season was Mike Ditka in 1961. It's a really hard position

1:57.0

to learn and adjust to the NFL level. You have to be a tackle with your blocking and a

2:03.5

wide receiver with your receiving. It's one of the hardest jobs to do in the NFL. And maybe some of

2:10.4

the hype on Kyle Pitts is a little bit too high just because although he's such a generational
