Scoring was no problem for Pitts in college as a Florida Gator. Pitts ended his Florida career with 18 receiving TDs, with 12 of those coming in his junior season.
The Falcons selected Pitts with the 4th-overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft after his successful collegiate career. Pitts ended his rookie season with 1,026 receiving yards, but only caught 1 TD pass.
