Now the next guy presented does not lack any height or weight issues but feels like should be addressed in this list of uncommon talent. In every draft class, there is one guy who just stands out more than everyone else and in the 2021 NFL Draft, it’s Kyle Pitts.
Pitts listed as a tight end and is one of the more versatile players that has ever entered the draft.
