Florida Football: 3 likely destinations for Kyle Pitts in 2021 NFL draft

Outside of the quarterbacks, former Florida football tight end Kyle Pitts is the most talked about player in the 2021 NFL draft. Where will he end up? 

The 2021 NFL draft is creeping closer and closer, which means the rumor mill is really getting cranked up and one name to pay attention to is that of Florida football‘s Kyle Pitts.

There have already been a couple of major trades that have impacted the 2021 NFL draft order too, such as the 49ers moving up to the No. 3 overall pick or Miami moving back up to sixth and allowing the Eagles to drop to 12.

There was also the trade the Carolina Panthers made for Sam Darnold, potentially taking them out of the mix for quarterbacks at eighth overall.

It seems like the first big question is what to do the 49ers do at No. 3? Then, one of the next big questions is who gets Pitts?

It’s not hard to get infatuated with Pitts. Looking back at his career with Florida football, he proved to be a dynamic receiver and in his last two seasons, he caught 97 passes for more than 1,500 yards and 17 touchdowns.

Last season, Pitts showed how different he is from most tight ends too. Florida football used him as a receiver just as much and he excelled, averaging 17.9 yards per reception and notching 12 touchdowns.

Pitts also just showed the speed of a wide receiver at Florida football’s pro day, running a 4.44 in the 40-yard dash.  He’s going to be a desired asset on draft night and here’s a look at the three most likely destinations for Pitts.
