Skeptical Pitts won't become elite under Stefanski; PCL injury history and QB concerns limit upside.
The source expresses skepticism that Kevin Stefanski can elevate Pitts to top-five tight end status, citing five years of underperformance despite recent buzz. While Pitts posted a 1,000-yard rookie season (9.3 yards per target) and had five strong games including one monster performance against Tampa, the source bets against a Kelce-like transformation given Pitts' injury history (PCL injury in 2022, which "basically destroyed Brock Bowers last year") and the quarterback situation in Atlanta. The source notes Pitts is currently TE6 at ADP ~70, not a top-five pick, and argues that despite Stefanski's track record of targeting tight ends heavily (166-169 targets per season in Cleveland), the Falcons' investment in Pitts' contract does not guarantee increased tight end volume given Drake London and other receivers competing for targets.
