Dante Pettis said he wasn’t “delusional.” He could look at the names on the backs of the jersey of the other receivers on the roster for the New York Giants at the beginning of the season and understand why he was on the practice squad.
Kenny Golladay, Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton were established. Kadarius Toney was a first-round pick. C.J. Board was a key special teams player. Collin Johnson flashed potential last season with the Jacksonville Jaguars, and at 6-foot-6, 222 pounds had attractive size the Giants thought they could take advantage of.
