Pitts is one of the network's play-by-play announcers, working alongside former National Football League and college football head coach Terry Donahue. He also co-hosts Under the Helmet, a weekly E/I program full of NFL-related segments for younger viewers. He also hosted the former Fox Sports Net programs Total Access (whose name was later adopted by NFL Network for its own newscast) and Hardcore Football.
