Pitts hauled in 770 yards on 43 receptions last season with the Florida Gators to go along with 12 touchdowns. It was by far his most productive season after catching a combined 57 passes for 722 yards in his first freshman and sophomore seasons.

Pitts joins a talented receiving corps that already features Calvin Ridley and Julio Jones.
