One of the many pleasures of training camp — aside from it signaling the return of football — is the chance to see newly-acquired players (rookies and veterans, alike) acclimate themselves to a new environment. Few young players have been as exciting as wide receiver Dante Pettis.
Pettis, a second round pick out of the University of Washington, finds himself in the thick of things as the Niners’ first preseason game is right around the corner. He will battle for playing time in a receiving corps which already boasts the like of Pierre Garçon, Marquise Goodwin, Kendrick Bourne, and Trent Taylor.
