It’s all about creating mismatches. There are only three game changing TEs in the NFL. That’s how rare a true weapon at TE is. Kittle, Kelce, Waller. Those are the guys nfl defensive coaches are drawing up plans to stop. Hockenson could join this group if he has a competent QB.
Pitts is so good now, he could join this group right away. You just don’t see weapons like him at TE, it’s super rare. If you watch him against Alabama, he should have been unstoppable. He was held back by QB play. If you can match him with a good QB, I don’t know how you defend him. Corners aren’t big enough, LBs can’t cover well enough. If I’m Cincinnati, I’m thinking really hard whether to get him or Chase. They probably go chase to reconnect him with Burrow. But man Pitts could be a hof TE.
