They're actually very similar in regards to
separation traits. They're both good athletes, quick, shifty, fluid, accelerate off the line, sink hips, explosive short areas, etc.
Separation, separation, separation.
What ultimately separates Deebo from Pettis is 1) contrasting physical builds - Deebo is short, stocky; Pettis is long, wirey 2) disposition - Deebo is a pitbull.
But they're absolutely similar in regards to their separation traits, which is ultimately what Shanahan put a premium on.
Ugh, seeing these clips of Pettis makes me so disappointed in him. Dude has so much potential.
