Dennis Pitta hopes to produce under Gary Kubiak

Baltimore Ravens tight end Dennis Pitta has insisted that he will be able to perform under the club's new offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak in the 2014 season.

Pitta, who recently signed a new five-year contract with the Ravens, said that he is looking forward to the challenge of working with the former Houston Texans head coach.

"I know of his offense from watching Houston over the last few years and seeing their tight ends, Owen Daniels and Garrett Graham, put up great statistics," Pitta told the Ravens' website.

"It's not all about statistics, but they've been productive, and they have been a centrepiece to that offense. So I feel like I can produce in that same way, and I'm excited about the challenge and ready to get going."

Pitta has played for Baltimore since being drafted in 2010.
