FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. – Kyle Pitts breaks off the line of scrimmage in the individual rep during an Atlanta Falcons training camp practice, stutter-steps for a second and then accelerates.
Mykal Walker, not slow for a linebacker, had no chance. By the time Walker recovered, Pitts was on his way to an easy reception. During training camp, Atlanta’s star tight end has done this to almost every defender.
He has dominated individual drills and shaken defenders in team periods leading to wide open catches and tossing the ball high in the air after every touchdown.
