Dante Pettis has seemingly spent much of his NFL career waiting for opportunities since being a second-round pick by the San Francisco 49ers in the 2018 NFL Draft.
Pettis started the 2021 season on the Giants’ practice squad. Injuries finally gave him an opportunity to play in Week 5 and he responded with five receptions on 11 targets for 48 yards against the Los Angeles Rams. Week 6, he caught five passes in five targets for 39 yards and a touchdown. He even completed a pass.
Week 7, Pettis muffed a punt, wrecked his shoulder trying to recover it and saw his season come to an end.
