Kyle Pitts may have just secured his selection as a top-five selection in the 2021 NFL Draft.
No performance in a Pro Day is going to make an NFL prospect but if you watched Pitts this season, you know he’s already earned every bit of the lofty hype surrounding his game as he takes his talents to the game’s highest level.
Considering his outstanding performance on the field this season, the performance at Florida’s Pro Day on Wednesday is simply going to reinforce what NFL talent evaluators already know about Pitts.
He’s something special.
Measuring in at 6-foot-6 and 246-pounds, Pitts just clocked in a 40-yard dash in 4.44 seconds.
If you don’t believe it, there are multiple videos emerging of Pitts’ impressive run.

While quarterbacks always get the most attention leading up to drafts, there’s a realistic chance Pitts is the first non-quarterback selected in the 2021 NFL Draft.
