Florida quarterback Kyle Trask and tight end Kyle Pitts are perhaps the most iconic duo in college football this season. The two Kyles are among the best at their respective positions in the country this season, and their individual performances in Florida’s season-opening 51-35 win over Ole Miss led to them headlining this week’s top-10 performances from Pro Football Focus.

Pitts leads the way, following an eight-catch, 170-yard game that netted him four total touchdowns.

Pitts’ performance Saturday wasn’t simply stud tape by tight end standards, it was stud tape by wide receiver standards, as well. He got open nearly at will and at every level of the field. And even when he wasn’t open, Pitts was hauling in passes.

His combination of athleticism and ball skills is unlike anything we’ve seen at the tight end position in recent classes. The true junior finished with eight catches for 170 yards, four scores and two broken tackles on the day.

Meanwhile, Trask became the second Florida quarterback to throw for six touchdown passes in SEC game and the first since Chris Leak in 2004. He passed for over 400 yards on 30-of-42 passing.

For as good as Pitts was, Trask wasn’t too far behind. He finished with an elite 90.0-plus overall grade and had four big-time throws on 43 dropbacks. It was a far cry from the quarterback who had only nine big-time throws all last season. He looked so much more comfortable pushing the ball down the field and giving his guys chances to make plays.

The sort of accuracy he showed when throwing into tight windows or to closely guarded receivers was something we didn’t get to see nearly as much in 2019. For the quarterback many have tabbed as “this year’s Joe Burrow,” he had a Burrow-esque Week 1.
