Will Kareem Hunt Get Traded Before Week 1 of the NFL Season?

Kyle Pitts Should Be Worth His Draft Price

ESPN.com's Michael Rothstein thinks Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts should be in consideration for the 33rd overall pick (where he went in ESPN's latest mock draft) heading into his second NFL season.
