Kyle Pitts has gotten off to a bit of a slow start to his NFL career after the Atlanta Falcons drafted him with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
But, apparently, all it took was a trip across the pond for the former Florida Gator to find his footing.
As you can see below, Pitts snagged his first pro touchdown on a goal-line play against the New York Jets:

The Falcons currently hold a 10-0 lead early in the second quarter against the Jets. Pitts has made a couple of additional big plays, too.
How many more touchdowns will he accrue during his rookie season? That remains to be seen, but at least he has his first now.
