Though older (two year Mormon mission), Pitta is entering just his third season in the NFL and is is really starting to find his groove. His play on the playoffs last year helped the Ravens win the Super Bowl and with Anquan Boldin put of town, Pitta will see more targets. He thrives in the slot and you can expect the Ravens to line Pitta up there a lot in 2013.

November 23, 2012; Iowa City, IA, USA; Iowa Hawkeye linebacker Christian Kirksey (20) sacks the Nebraska Cornhuskers quarterback Taylor Martinez (3) at Kinnick Stadium. Nebraska beat Iowa 13-7. Mandatory Credit: Reese Strickland-USA TODAY Sports The Iowa Hawkeyes football program faces an uphill battle in the Big Ten this year, to say the least. They are breaking in a new quarterback, uncertainty at running back and wide receiver, and a lot of youngsters in the defensive backfield. One area where Iowa is pretty well set for the 2013 season is at the linebacker position, where they boast the best group in the country featuring James Morris, Anthony Hitchens, and Christian Kirksey. While there are little to no expectations for the Hawkeyes in 2013, there are high expectations from a crew that in 2012 combined for 332 tackles and 18 tackles for loss. This trio of bash brothers is ranked fourth in the country by Lindy’s publication in the linebacker unit rankings nationally, and they are the top ranked team in a 4-3 defensive base scheme. Teams that might be ranked ahead of Iowa’s LB group in pre-season unit rankings might include 3-4 teams like Stanford and UCLA, who have some elite level edge rushers that are considered linebackers. Here are my preliminary scouting reports for each of Iowa’s star linebackers, a group that could feature three players ranked in the top ten at their respective positions come time for the draft. 31 Anthony Hitchens, Linebacker, Junior  6’1? 225 pounds Hitchens came to Iowa as a three-star defensive back prospect by many outlets, but he’s added nearly 25 pounds of bulk since he came to Iowa City and has turned into the team’s best tackler. Hitchens flies all over the field, making plays behind the line of scrimmage and shutting run plays down with his quickness. He is the ideal weakside linebacker for a Tampa 2 defense because of his ability to cover the pass and pick up backs out of the backfield. I would love to see Iowa use him more in blitzing situations, but I think Hitchens has the potential to be a Wesley Woodyard type of player, slightly undersized defensive back hybrid linebacker who can fly all over the field and make plays. 44 James Morris, Linebacker, Junior 6’2? 230 pounds Morris is a blue-collar, hard-nosed, tough-as-nails inside linebacker prospect who has the look of a future NFL starter, and a reliable one at that. He is rangy and has great leadership skills, and though he came into the Hawkeye football program as a 215 pound pup, he has emerged as one of the team’s top tacklers and grown into a 230 pound beast. Morris is a tackling machine who is always flying to the ball, and he’s been productive ever since his freshman season. He had 70 tackles as a freshman, 109 tackles as a sophomore, and as a junior, he’s looking to break the 100 tackle mark yet again with 96 through 10 games. The former running back is a little tight in the hips in coverage, and he’s not an elite athlete like the other LBs on Iowa’s roster, but he’s going to make tackles and make plays for your defense, and he’s a guy you’ll want to have on your team, undoubtedly. 20 Christian Kirksey, Linebacker, Junior  6’2? 220 pounds Kirksey may be the best linebacker prospect of Iowa’s stellar group. He doesn’t lead the crew in tackles, but he is definitely one of the most exciting defensive playmakers in the Big Ten. He has great athletic ability and is still growing into his frame. As a sophomore, Kirksey finished with 110 tackles and five tackles for loss, along with an interception, three passes broken up, and two forced fumbles. He has followed that up with a stellar junior season where he has 76 tackles, two pick-sixes, and 2.5 tackles for loss. He is excellent in coverage and his closing speed is second to none. He is a good wrap-up tackler and I think he can add a little more bulk and be one of the best OLBs in his class.

Free-agent WR Titus Young, who has been jailed since May 11, learned in court Friday, May 24, that he would be charged with three new counts, bringing his total to 11. The exact nature of the counts was not available immediately, because they had not been filed yet. Huddle Up: Here's hoping this leads to Young getting the help he so obviously needs. Don't expect him back on the football field any time soon.

Tennessee Titans WR Kenny Britt has gotten serious this offseason, training in California, and showing up for the start of the offseason program in good shape, impressive coaches and teammates. Britt had multiple knee surgeries last offseason, but he has not had any operations this season, and that could be a springboard to big season. Huddle Up: A healthy Britt is certainly a big part of the equation; now he needs to stay out of trouble off the field, and he needs Jake Locker to play like a first-round draft pick. If you think lightning can strike three times in the same place, then Britt is the kind of high upside fantasy player you'll want to take a chance on.

Detroit Lions RB Reggie Bush said he is willing to be a punt returner if the team asks him to handle to role. "You know, for me, I've done it before and I don't mind it," Bush said. "I feel I can still do it if I need to, and if they want me to do it, I'll definitely go out there and return punts." Huddle Up: The Lions would rather have Bush on the field for 16 games as a running back, but he could get a handful of opportunities to return punts as well. If you're in a league that awards fantasy points based on return yards and scores, you'll get a little bump from Bush but don't look to him for full-time return work.

San Francisco 49ers WR Mario Manningham said he has been able to run and cut during his recovery process. Manningham said he is taking a cautious approach to his rehab and does not have an exact timetable for his return at this point. Huddle Up: The 49ers have an opening at receiver, so they'd love to get Manningham back on the field soon. But seeing as he tore his ACL late last season, don't set expectations high.
