A.J. Terrell and Kyle Pitts are the brightest two young stars currently on the Atlanta Falcons’ roster. The former first-round picks have thus far warranted their high selections, and they are undoubtedly key pillars in the organization’s long-term plans.
It seems, too, that they recognize and understand their roles in helping one another advance not only the team’s prospects but also their own abilities.
A primary storyline during Atlanta’s minicamp earlier this summer was the lively competition between Terrell – Pro Football Focus’s second-highest-graded cornerback last season – and Pitts – who joined Mike Ditka as the only rookie tight ends to surpass 1,000 yards.
