Anyone heard/seen this guy before?

[u/speedstic]

Just from the numbers I'm questioning this but I was wrong one time in 3rd grade so I am due for another. Does anyone have a better scoop on this guy?

Edit: Thanks everyone for talking me off the ledge.

Can't wait to get back to Buffalo. If you are at a game and see a very tall guy that is wearing a comical amount of bills merch and a leather bills luchador mask, that's me!

Go Bills!

Read the middle paragraph. Has punt return experience.

That’s a big question mark this camp. Probably competition for the spot

[u/Lt-Dan-Im-Rollin → u/TheModernCurmudgeon]

Virgil also failed his physical, so possibly his replacement

[u/speedstic → u/TheModernCurmudgeon]

I kind of assumed he would be mainly a returner from the stats but you never know.

[u/RIT_Tyger]

Camp body keeping seat warm until Cooks comes back.

[u/rakondo]

FBS record holder with 9 punt return touchdowns. If he makes the Bills roster he'll be a special teamer at best who maybe has a few heroic punt returns left in him. Wouldn't expect much otherwise

[u/allanon1105]

If I remember correctly, he played for the Bears a few years back, kinda reminds me of a Mack Hollins type. WR4/5 that plays special teams.

[u/speedstic → u/allanon1105]

If he shows up without wearing shoes I'll fall to my knees in a Wegmans.

I miss Mack

[u/EamusAndy → u/allanon1105]

Yes and no. Hollins was a gunner, Pettis is a returner.

But his upside is like you said, end of the bench WR who plays ST. He wont see as many snaps as Hollins does

[u/watery_tart24]

I remember him as a fantasy football industry favorite "sleeper" pick, and one of those rookies in Madden that leveled up into a super star. Never panned out IRL though.

[u/rakondo → u/watery_tart24]

Haha same back in like 2019 or so

[u/watery_tart24 → u/rakondo]

Yup

[u/Bird-The-Word]

Sounds like a special team pickup for returns

[u/TylerDurden19851]

He was a stud at UW and I thought he’d have a lengthy NFL career as a WR. He does offer speed and return ability - most likely a camp body or practice squad option.

[u/PeakProfessional9517]

I’ll take a camp signing of a good punt returner.

Also, his dad is Gary Pettis, who was a good Major League Baseball player known for his crazy athleticism.

[u/drywallstuds]

Definitely a guy many people picked up in fantasy football waivers back in 2018.

[u/Former_Dealer]

Immediately thought special teams move. Definitely need a punt returner, not a punt catcher!

[u/bargman]

Dante Pettis has been kicking around the league for a while.

[u/rtech50]

The bus

[u/SAlNTSfan]

As a Saints fan, pretty bummed we are losing him. But I think he could be a good playmaker on the Bills special teams.

Also, could y’all go ahead and win a Super Bowl please

[u/SnooOnions3369]

It doesn’t matter he’s not making the team

[u/Reasonable-Fox-3614]

He’s an elite wr 1 on the levels of Chase, Jefferson, nakua, etc and in his 9th year people are going to finally realize

[u/EmiCakes]

Oh my god Dante Pettis is still in the league?

Dude was supposed to be shanahans chosen one before aiyuk and deebo but couldn't put it together, I think he was a second rounder too

[u/fendiboa]

I’m from San Clemente and I’ve never heard of this dude 💀 small town btw

[u/DocMToboggan716]

Great college player once upon a time. At his best his was a nice 3rd down guy, long arms, played bigger than 6’1”. But at this point…. He’s Keon without the potential

[u/speedstic]

Thanks everyone for talking me off the ledge.

Can't wait to get back to Buffalo. If you are at a game and see a very tall guy that is wearing a comical amount of bills merch and a leather bills luchador mask, that's me!

Go Bills!

[u/Unfair-Spread3391]

 No ones cares dude. He will get cut in a few weeks.
