The full breakdown

Pitts earned a 65.8 grade largely on the back of an active but volatile run-blocking display across 21 run snaps, while seeing minimal opportunities in the passing game. He excelled on motion, insert, and pin blocks, highlighted by a dominant kick-out block to spring a touchdown toss at Q1 01:35 and a textbook pin block at Q2 09:05. However, his grade was suppressed when tasked with base blocking edge defenders at the point of attack, conceding inside sheds that resulted in run stops at both Q2 03:04 and Q4 07:28.
