Scouting Report: Strengths
- Shows good sense as a route runner and provides an enormous catch radius over the middle of the field. Pettaway has soft hands and uses his frame effectively to shield defenders, making him a major threat in the red zone.
- Pettaway shows suddenness off the line of scrimmage and accelerates quickly, and his top-end speed is among the best in this draft.
- He’s at his best working in space, showing the quickness and vision of a return specialist. His stop-start ability allows him to create initial separation.
- Fluid athlete with explosive burst and speed to stretch the field and breeze past defenders. Has a quick first step and gets to top speed in a hurry.
- He’s also a catch-and-run threat, a creative runner who has good vision in the open field; he’ll be an option to return kicks as well.
- Has a knack for getting open and is a quarterback's best friend - passers just need to toss the ball in his area and he'll come down with it.
- He’s coordinated with soft, reliable hands, and Pettaway shows the ability to adjust to balls thrown behind him, as well as a knack for digging out low throws.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Does not always use his hands to secure deep throws, allowing the ball into his pads and chest.
- Pettaway doesn’t have the ability as a run blocker or the violent run-after-catch ability.
- Pettaway really isn’t a guy who will create a lot of separation.
