What happened: Kyle Pitts Sr.'s touchdown totals have stepped up by one in each of his pro seasons: one in 2021, two in 2022, three in 2023, four in 2024 and five in 2025. Heading into the 2026 campaign, the number for the year ahead is left open.
Why it matters: Pitts enters 2026 fresh off a three-year deal to stay in Atlanta, and a steadily rising scoring trajectory is exactly the kind of year-over-year growth a long-term commitment is built on. Extending the pattern would mean a sixth straight season of incremental improvement in the red zone.
By the numbers: Touchdowns by season — 2021: 1, 2022: 2, 2023: 3, 2024: 4, 2025: 5.
What to watch: Watch whether Pitts pushes his touchdown count higher again in the 2026 season.
