"Kyle Pitts has been something of an enigma in recent years. The tight end came into the league with generational projections before being taken by the Atlanta Falcons at No. 4 overall, ahead of prospects like wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase and offensive tackle Penei Sewell. After going over 1,000 receiving yards as a rookie, it looked like superstardom beckoned for the Florida product."
"Pitts took this to even greater heights on Thursday Night Football against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If the fifth-year pro was using this as a chance to put himself in the shop window, he took full advantage. The tight end was relentless, finishing the game with 11 receptions from 13 targets for 166 receiving yards and three touchdowns as the Falcons overcame a two-score deficit to triumph."
Adam Peters enters his third offseason as general manager of the Washington Commanders facing a pivotal moment after a woeful 2025 campaign.

Kyle Pitts emerged as a prime-time standout, reigniting trade or free-agent interest. Pitts entered the league with generational projections and a 1,000-yard rookie season, then experienced uneven production. He delivered 11 catches for 166 yards and three touchdowns on Thursday Night Football, increasing his market value.
