Hugh Lynn Pitts (born April 8, 1934) was an American football player. Pitts attended Texas Christian University and played college football at the center position for the TCU Horned Frogs football team. He was selected by the Central Press Association as a second-team player on its 1954 College Football All-America Team.[1] He was selected by the Los Angeles Rams in the second round (23rd overall pick) of the 1956 NFL Draft. He appeared in nine games for the Rams during the 1956 NFL season and intercepted three passes.[2] He did not see further regular season action for the Rams and was traded to the Dallas Cowboys in July 1960.[3] Pitts instead jumped to the new American Football League and appeared in 12 games for the Houston Oilers during the 1960 AFL season.[2]
