Entering just his second season, he's already considered one of the best tight ends in the game. It's our pleasure to welcome Kyle Pitts to All Things Covered for a great chat with Bryant McFadden. The guys cover how Philly molded Kyle as well as his favorite cheesesteak spot. They also discuss being the highest drafted TE in NFL history, how he grew through his rookie season and the key to finding the end zone more in 2022. Pitts talks about his current quarterbacks, what it was like to learn from Matt Ryan and a childhood encounter with Mike Vick. Pitts also shares his observations of Falcons rookie Drake London and expectations for the Week 1 matchup vs the Saints before diving into Superlatives (and his Top 5 TE list) to finish the show!

Om Podcasten

Patrick Peterson and Bryant McFadden have made a living for their coverage skills on the football field, and while it's a different technique, they're now applying those traits on their podcast 'All Things Covered'. Instead of wide receivers, tight ends and running backs, they'll be covering sports, entertainment, social issues, personal interests and more. Every Wednesday, the 8-time Pro Bowler Peterson and 2-time Super Bowl champion McFadden will discuss what's happening on the gridiron as well as what intrigues them off the field. Each week they'll welcome a star from the sports and entertainment world to have wide-ranging conversations about what interests them. Guests can include active or former football players but also athletes and influencers from other sports and walks of life. Football is how we know our hosts, but far from what defines Pat and BMac. The name says everything; expect all things to be covered! You can also watch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/AllThingsCovered
