 Measurables:
Combine height: 6-5 3/8
Combine weight: 263 pounds
Combine 40 time: 4.85 seconds
Stats:
Pettigrew caught 42 passes for 472 yards as a senior but failed to find the end zone. For his four-year career at Oklahoma State, Pettigrew recorded 112 receptions for 1,450 yards and nine touchdowns.
Skill Set:
Widely regarded as the most complete tight end in this year’s draft, Pettigrew will be a Day One pick primarily because of his dominant blocking ability. He has prototypical size for an in-line tight end and has demonstrated the ability to block both on the line of scrimmage and at the second level. Even in high school when Pettigrew was an all-state performer, it was primarily because of his blocking ability. Not that he can’t catch; Pettigrew has good hands, uses his size and strength to create an opening in the secondary, and moves the pile after he makes the grab; according to NFL Draft Scout, more than 40 percent of Pettigrew’s yardage came after the catch.
