Gators TE Kyle Pitts ramped up work during shutdown to become unstoppable

Being the best tight end in the SEC was not good enough for Pitts. Being the 2019 Gators’ leading pass catcher was a far cry from being a complete player.

“I made sure when I came back and I started to go out there, my body was ready for it,” Pitts said.

Pitts' hard work paid off with a four-touchdown, 170-yard day at Ole Miss to open the 2020 season and put him at the top of the food chain among SEC playmakers.
