Atlanta Falcons star Kyle Pitts had a better season than most from the 2021 draft class.

The tight end played all 17 games for the seven-win Falcons and while he only had one touchdown catch in that span, he managed to catch 68 passes for 1,026 yards on his way to his first Pro Bowl.

Pitts told Fox News Digital in a recent interview he was looking forward to doing "twice as better" when he takes the field for his second season. 

"I would say my first year was a learning experience, and it was something that I always wanted," Pitts said.
