Depsite being (slightly over) 3 inches taller and almost 30 pounds heavier, Pitts is faster can jump higher than Nelson did, and is two years younger.  I would include that he's stronger too, or that his wingspan is ridiculous but Jordan Nelson doesn't have those numbers available from his combine.

Fwiw, I somewhat understand your point (that if he can't block then he's just a huge WR) but this seems like a poor comparison.  If anything, it only further strengthens the argument that Kyle Pitts is a very unique type of prospect.

Appreciate the legwork but I wasn't trying to draw a comparison specifically between those two. Nelson was just the first 'good not great'' receiver to pop into my head. 

Because I think that's what pitts is: a good receiver. But I don't know how well that's going to translate to being an nfl te.
