Kyle Pitts flashes impressive catch and run to make Falcons fan salivate
By Keith Farner
Published:
In a nice SEC connection, Feleipe Franks found Kyle Pitts for an impressive catch and run for the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday in a preseason game against the Cleveland Browns.
It turned into a 27-yard play as Pitts’ lone catch by late in the second quarter. Franks himself started 4-for-7 passing for 61 yards. He was sacked once.
When Pitts delivered that play, plenty of SEC and Falcons’ fans showed excitement for more to come from the former Florida tight end who has developed into an offensive sensation in the last year.
Here’s a sampling of the reaction to Pitts:
Get used to this, Falcons fans.

No one can tackle Kyle Pitts and Younghoe Koo can tackle anyone. Preseason finale notes. #Falcons
