Since 2021, the Atlanta Falcons have invested heavily in their offense with top draft picks but tight end Kyle Pitts has struggled to maintain his rookie season success. Despite signs of promise, such as significant yardage, Pitts ended 2024 with disappointing stats, raising doubts among fans. However, rookie quarterback Michael Penix has expressed strong belief in Pitts, emphasizing their commitment to improving their connection. There are concerns about Pitts's future with the Falcons due to salary cap issues, yet Penix is determined to build their partnership moving forward.
"I'm going to believe in him," Penix said of Pitts. "He knows that. I just talked to him the other day, and we just talked about some of the things that we want to do and it's like, all right, I'm going to give you my all each and every day, and I want you to do the same. Once we do that, our connection is going to continue to build."
While a trade does make sense from a cap standpoint, it would also create a need at the tight end position. Penix is going forward with the assumption Pitts will be here and taking it upon himself to get his teammate the ball in 2025.
