FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- The biggest challenge for Kyle Pitts this season hasn't been an opposing linebacker, learning a scheme or even matching up with Carolina cornerback Stephon Gilmore, one of the NFL's best coverage players.
To understand what has been hardest for Pitts, the Atlanta Falcons' Pro Bowl rookie tight end, to adjust to, look toward the end of every day. After practice is over and meetings have subsided and Pitts has arrived home.
Nah, the biggest adjustment for Pitts is one so many people in the world can relate to: Figuring out how to get enough sleep.
