From the episode

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Stefanski tree makes Pitts a first-read tight end; late-season tape shows college-level explosiveness.

Kevin Stefanski's entire coaching tree has consistently peppered tight ends as primary pass catchers; Trey McBride under Stefanski produced 1 PPG, Harold Fannin 8 PPG; Pitts is likely the second-best pass catcher on the Falcons roster and fits the tree's tight-end-first offensive philosophy; he showed late-season tape of elite vertical ability, tackle-breaking, and after-catch explosiveness that mirrors his college tape.
