Entering his contract year, Kyle Pitts finds himself at a critical juncture with the Atlanta Falcons. Drafted fourth overall in 2021, his rookie season was stellar, earning him Pro Bowl and All-Rookie honors. However, despite a promising start, his production has declined due to a revolving door of quarterbacks, including Matt Ryan, Marcus Mariota, and most recently, Desmond Ridder and Taylor Heinicke.

With Michael Penix Jr. now at the helm, Atlanta hopes to stabilize its quarterback situation. Pitts needs to elevate his game to maintain his spot in the Falcons' long-term plans. If he fails to meet expectations, the team may reconsider his future in Atlanta.
