The Buccaneers will have their hands full with Kyle Pitts, who can be a top-5 tight end in 2021.

In recent years, it has become easy to rule rookie tight ends out. Even the best two in the league right now, George Kittle and Travis Kelce, were only able to post 515 and 862 receiving yards in their first seasons as starters. Wide receivers have a much easier job adjusting to the NFL and finish the season above 1,000 yards far more often, but Kyle Pitts has a chance to change this narrative.
