Fantatastic for taking the time to put this together!! Thank
He's not Greg Salas. He's not Gibby or DX. Pettis is his own type of player.
He's like a quicker/compact DX with better hands. imo
Pettis has got
Larry Fitzgerald type hands and BLloyd type body control. imo
No, i'm not joking. I thought he had the best hands in colleg football(w/AJGreen) when he came out.
I was thrilled to get a tough, over-the-middle SOB with great hands for our 3rd down
Pettis had one of the quickest Combine's short shuttle in years. iirc
..and it flashed in his route running. Speaking of the route running...
anyone notice how short the routes were?? Crazy, 3-5yd underneath drags!!
Only
one deep ball (amazing catch) from the 20+ catches he had in the vids.
I think the kid can MURDER the seam route or the skinny post...I think Pettis has the sneaky speed to do it.
It's all about timing, opportunity, football politics, etc...but Pettis looked like he knew how to get open to me.
It'll be interesting to see more of these guys in pre-season, but great hands & fearlessness across the middle are great assets to have.
And we have 4 tough, over the middle, SOB Wrs in Pettis, Salas, Amendola...maybe Steve Smith too.
Thanks SO much, Paul for taking the time to do this....
I'm a real fan of Pettis and it was good to get a refresher for him...
and Salas!!
Now, if only we had Kendricks...
LOL (just joking)
