Height: 61Weight: 195 lbs.Age: 26NFL Exp.: 4 seasonsCollege: WashingtonTheNew York Giants acquired wide receiver Dante Pettis off Davante Adams T Shirts waivers following his release from the 49ers midway through the 2020 season. In 2021, the Giants signed Pettis to their practice squad before eventually promoting him to their 53-man roster.Unfortunately for Pettis, he contracted COVID-19 which he later admitted had such an effect on his stamina that he couldn't contribute at a level he thought himself capable of contributing.Because the Giants wide receiver unit was so deep this season, Pettis didnt receive any snaps on offense until Week 6 against the Rams.
