STM Take
A ceiling tight end whose breakout finally arrived.
The case for
- 2025 second-team All-Pro at age 25; the long-promised breakout finally arrived.
- 45.6 PPR Week 15 ceiling shows the rookie-year tape is still in there when targets concentrate.
The worry
- Three years of STTM #15-#18 finishes before the 2025 jump; the consistency case is thin.
- Penix Jr.'s tier-8 QB rank means the volume rests on the QB's year-two jump.
What to watch: Whether Penix's tier-5-or-better year-two finish unlocks Pitts as a true tier-1 TE in 2026.
Full take and bio
Pitts at STTM #11 tier 3 in 2025 with his first second-team All-Pro nod is the long-awaited rebound after three middling years. The 45.6 PPR Week 15 spike is the kind of ceiling week the 2020 Mackey winner was always supposed to produce. Michael Penix Jr.'s tier-8 QB rank capped the volume; the 2nd-team AP recognition came despite the QB ceiling.
Pitts was born in Philadelphia, attended Archbishop Wood, and was the 2020 John Mackey Award winner plus unanimous All-American at Florida. Atlanta took him fourth overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, the highest TE pick in NFL history. He made his rookie Pro Bowl in 2021, then dipped before earning 2025 second-team All-Pro honors at age 25.
