FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Kyle Pitts jumped up for a Kirk Cousins fade pass in the back right corner of the end zone and hauled it in over his teammate, Pro Bowl safety Jessie Bates III. It was July 31, six days into Atlanta Falcons training camp, and it provided a reminder of how Pitts, the 6-foot-6 tight end, can dominate against smaller defensive backs.

Even ones as good as Bates, who just hours before was announced as the top-rated safety in the latest NFL video game.
