LOOK: Kyle Pitts loses a bet over Florida-Tennessee game

The Florida Gators turned the page on the loss to Tennessee the day after it happened, but it took Kyle Pitts a few days to make good on a bet he made with Atlanta Falcons teammate (and former Volunteer) Cordarrelle Patterson.

On Wednesday night, Patterson posted a photo of Pitts wearing a pair of orange and white checkered overalls. Pitts didn’t look happy, but fair is fair and this only happens twice every 18 years for Volunteers fans.

“Y’all aren’t getting me in that,” Pitts said, according to Josh Kendall of the Athletic. “They put me in overalls. I think that was the worst part. Overalls.”

Pitts never lost to Tennessee during his time at Florida. In 2019, he hauled in four receptions for 62 yards and a touchdown in a home win. In 2020, he topped those numbers with seven grabs and 128 yards on the road. Maybe that’s why he was so confident in making the bet.

But this Florida team isn’t the same one he played on. Billy Napier is still undoing the damage left by the previous staff. Now the team can write its own revenge story next season when the Vols come to Gainesville. Hopefully, Patterson is game to run the bet back.
