NFLN's Daniel Jeremiah on Florida TE Kyle Pitts, a Philly native: "I think you can make a strong case he's the best player in the draft. …If he was just in this draft as an 'X' receiver, he's a top 10-15 pick."
Jeremiah, a former scout for Eagles, had Pitts going to Eagles.

Daniel Jeremiah is on an NFL Draft conference call for the NFL Network and he was asked by Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia, about Florida Gators star tight end, Kyle Pitts.
Already mocking Pitts to the Eagles, Jeremiah called Pitts “the best player in the draft”, then went onto explain how drafting the versatile weapons could pay off for the Eagles.
“If he was evaluated just as an X-receiver in this draft, he’s a top 10 or 15 pick even if he never put his hand on the ground.”
Pitts has a faster burst than some wide receivers in this draft class and he’s a matchup nightmare who can line up all over the field, has great speed, hands, and a 6-foot-6 frame that makes him extremely difficult to contain.
A finalist for both the Mackey (TE) and Biletnikoff Awards (WR), Pitts finished the 2020 season with 43 catches for 770 yards and 12 touchdowns, despite playing in only eight games.
