Did Falcons Rookie Phenom Kyle Pitts Meet Expectations? 2021 Tight End Positional Review

Aaron reviews the Atlanta Falcons tight end position and looks at the dichotomy of Kyle Pitts' rookie season that was both historic and in other ways a tad underwhelming.

He breaks down why despite Pitts having a historic season of rookie production, it often felt like he could be even more productive in the red zone and in several games. He also compares how Pitts' rookie season stacks up with Julio Jones' rookie season. Then, he looks at the depth at tight end, talking about Hayden Hurst's disappointing season, Lee Smith's solid year, and the emergence of Parker Hesse for a potentially bigger role in 2022. Finally, he discusses if the team will look to fill potential depth voids left by a departing Hurst and Smith via the draft or free agency.
