  • Washington WR Dante Pettis is as sure-handed as they come in the Pac-12 Conference, as his 1.85 drop rate was the lowest of any Pac-12 wide receiver with at least 45 targets last season.
  • Targeted 72 times last season, Pettis dropped just one of the 54 catchable passes thrown his way.
  • The California native also averaged 2.30 yards per route run, the second-highest mark among Pac-12 wide receivers with less than 80 targets last season.
  • Pettis’ reliable hands weren’t limited to short and intermediate throws, for he also ranked T-No. 1 in deep catch rate at 66.7 among Pac-12 wide receivers with at least 30 targets. He caught 12-of-18 deep targets (20 or more yards downfield) and all six of the incompletions were deemed uncatchable.
