Kyle Pitts is one of those interesting possibilities for the Cincinnati Bengals in the first round of the NFL draft this year.
Pitts, viewed as one of the best tight ends to enter the draft in years, will work out at Florida’s pro day on Wednesday — and the Bengals made sure to send head coach Zac Taylor to the event, per ESPN’s Ben Baby.
While some team insiders have suggested they don’t see the Bengals taking Pitts, his unique blend of underrated skill in blocking and best-in-class receiving skill would make him quite the versatile chess piece for Joe Burrow’s offense. Depending on what the Bengals do in terms of trades and how the board falls, Pitts could easily be the best player available when they walk to the podium.
Besides Pitts, Florida has notable draft prospects like wideout Kadarius Toney, corner Marco Wilson and defensive lineman Tedarrell Slaton. But considering many experts have Pitts as a top-five pick, it’s hard to imagine he won’t be the star of the show.
