REVEALED: Why Kyle Pitts WILL BREAK OUT for Atlanta Falcons | Inside Star’s Motivation and Mindset

Kyle Pitts faces skepticism—does the Atlanta Falcons tight end truly care, and is this finally the year he breaks out? Maria Martin (‪@11Alive‬) joins Aaron Freeman to set the record straight on Pitts' work ethic and motivation, while drawing parallels to player resurgences like Tua Tagovailoa and A.J. Brown. Is a change in offensive philosophy the missing piece that unlocks Pitts' superstar potential? Later, Aaron dives into advanced data, revealing how Cleveland Browns-inspired heavy personnel schemes and play-action concepts could shape Pitts' usage in 2026. Analyzing routes, EPA metrics, and historical tight end roles, the episode challenges the "tight end-friendly offense" narrative in Atlanta and Cleveland. Can new offensive coordinator Tommy Rees maximize Pitts before his franchise tag expires, or will scheme limitations hold him back again? Get insights into how talent, scheme, and coaching cast the future of the Falcons' offense. #atlantafalcons #nfl #kylepitts #tommyrees #kevinstefanski #tuatagovailoa #davidnjoku #haroldfannin #austinhooper #harrisonbryant #georgekittle #playcalling Photo Credit: Nathan Ray Seebeck - Imagn Images Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts...
