It’s amazing how quickly things change in the National Football League. One minute, Kyle Pitts is seemingly one of the prospects that the Philadelphia Eagles are eyeing. The next, the Atlanta Falcons have robbed Philly of the opportunity to land the most recent NFL Draft’s highest-drafted non-quarterback by taking him with the fourth-overall selection.
Philly got their guy. No one’s going to complain about the addition of DeVonta Smith, but here’s where those two roads intersect. Both the Birds and Falcons will have the opportunity to unveil their phenomenal rookies when the Eagles travel to Mercedes Benz Stadium on September 12th to do battle with the Falcons in the first week of the 2021-2022 regular season.
