STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Pitts scored twice in slot role, showcasing contested-catch ability and mismatch exploitation.

Pitts caught two touchdown passes against Chicago while operating in the slot and as a possession pass-catcher under pressure. On one play, he ripped away a contested catch from Elijah Hicks despite the throw being inside of him, juking past Nick McCloud for a 29-yard gain and preventing a certain turnover with his improved contested-catch ability. On another, he was isolated inside with an undersized defensive back on third and nine, then scored on the next play on a slant-flat concept where a rub by Zaccheaus gave him the space necessary to score his second touchdown.
