Dante Pettis on his family, the draft, and his abilities at the pro-level

Dante Pettis was one of the rookies welcome for minicamp and in a change of the norm—is one of those that wouldn’t be welcomed in years prior due to a rule keeping those on the quarter system in college from participating in pro sports until finals conclude.

Pettis offered some nice perspective about his family legacy (he’s the cousin of Austin Pettis who was a star for Boise State and later the NFL), the conversation with his father after getting drafted and what he thinks he’ll be used as in the NFL.
