All three were categorized as deep threat wideouts at some point in their careers, but none were able to turn opportunity into consistent production. While every member of that trio earned All-Pro honors for their special teams work, their contributions were capped by one limiting factor there was no place for them on offense. Or, if you need a contemporary example, Cordarrelle Patterson, who has five return TDs in five seasons - though all on kickoffs. If Hall isn’t a strong enough comparison, there’s always Devin Hester, who had 20 return touchdowns in 11 years. Hall earned every syllable of the nickname “the human joystick” with the Chiefs, shattering punt and kick coverages with a physics-defying ability to change direction without losing momentum over a career that featured 13 touchdowns in a six-season span. Pettis’ special teams craftsmanship evokes memories of another Dante: former Chiefs Pro-Bowler Dante Hall. Pettis needs to succeed where others like him have struggled Now he has to prove it at the next level for the 49ers, who selected him in the second round with the No. With 22 non-return touchdowns the past two seasons, he was one of the most dangerous offensive weapons on a Husky team that won 22 games in that two-year stretch. But Pettis is more than just a game-changing special teams ace. In all, you can find an NCAA-record nine punt return touchdowns on Pettis’ resume, and his blend of vision, speed, and lateral movement will make him a valued asset in the 2018 NFL Draft.
