On par with....

Brandin Cooks
Tyreek Hill
T.Y. Hilton
Doug Baldwin

#1'S comes in all forms. It's all about usage and system. No one is denying his ability. We all have to agree he's in the right system. Usage is the only thing (and health obviously) IMO that will stop him from being a top 15-20ish WR

Rookie wrs rarely have any impact at all, while on the field pettis' production when transposed over a full 16 games would have resulted in 64/1148/13; with mostly backup qb play. To put in perspective Julio Jones, as good as it gets coming out of college -went 54/959/8 as a rookie.

I got this feeling he's one of these guys whose going to struggle with injuries. Not only that, a true #1 is very aggressive to the ball, they command the ball almost and really go and get it. I like Pettis' skill set and I don't think he has to be that guy to make an impact but I don't think
He's a #1. I mean he wasn't the #1 at Washington and he was more talented than most players, that just says something about his character, not in a bad way but he's just more complimentary.

Hes got the talent, but hes a small and brittle guy. Wouldn't be shocked if hes plagued with injuries. Needs to stop watching film and go hit the gym like Kaepernick

I wasnt a fan of the pick last year. I had little faith in him, and after he got hurt I thought, here we go again.

Watching him run routes is beautiful. He has a unique wiggle and hes so fluid. Hes plenty fast and has a good catch radius. I think he can develop, but he'll be more of a big play guy. We need our reliable go to guy still

No but he'll make an amazing 2 WR ala John Taylor. The only thing holding him back from being number 1 is his lack of physicality. To be a true number one WR you Ned to be able to fight for the pigskin and come up with your share of jump balls. I don't ever see Dante being this type of player, he's pure finesse.

Yeah, what a puss bag getting his leg caught in the ground as he's being bent backwards and actually getting injured lol.

You need huge WRs like Antonio Brown and Marvin Harrison to really succeed in the NFL

He definitely has the skill he has the professional pedigree. Does he have the relentless drive?

Nope, at best he's a 3rd or 4th wr. Dude is soft like cotton candy.
