Pitts could be the highest non-quarterback draft pick in this year’s 1st-round, with several teams vying for his talents. However, one NFL legend believes that the Dallas Cowboys should try to move up to get Pitts, as they would benefit from his presence greatly.
Former Super Bowl winner Michael Irvin spoke recently about 2021 NFL Draft prospect Kyle Pitts. Irvin had high praise for Pitts, calling him a phenomenal talent. He believes that Pitts is actually more of a wide receiver than a tight end.

“For what that kid is, I mean he’s a phenomenal talent. He’s really a wide receiver playing the tight end position. When I study him, he talks about how much he loves learning all the nuances of blocking and everything. The kid seems like he really wants to be great.”

“It would be insane to have him. As much as Dallas needs as much defense as they need, it would be insane to have him. I heard you say earlier there may not be enough balls, it may be true, in some sense but this kid will be up the pecking order if he did come to Dallas in some kind of way.”
