Locked On Falcons: Can the Falcons Succeed If Kyle Pitts Doesn't Reach 1,000 Yards This Year? With Guest Charles McDonald

The Atlanta Falcons' pass catchers have excelled on the field in the last 15 years.

In every year since 2006, a pass catcher has eclipsed the 1,000 yard mark, but will that streak continue this year?

If the streak continues, there's a chance rookie tight end Kyle Pitts could be the one to reach that achievement.

Roddy White and Julio Jones come up on that list most frequently, but for the first time since 2004, neither of those two are on the Falcons' roster.

Now, with Jones gone, all eyes are on Pitts to fill those big shoes and stuff the stat sheet.
