St. Louis Rams WR Austin Pettis' roster spot may in jeopardy in training camp.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
The Rams have Stedman Bailey facing a four-game suspension to start the season, but that doesn't mean Pettis is safe. He's a below average player who has failed to play up to expectations as a pro. It's not going to be a surprise if/when the Rams let him go. Pettis finally played a full season for the first time in his three-year career, but he only registered 38 catches.
Does Nick have some insight into the Rams view of Pettis? Who knows.
All I do know is my own view of Pettis from watching him for 3 years. He's a plodder who gets no separation and is a zero threat to any opposing defense. He is usually single covered by the worst DB and occasionally is able to make a catch because he does have good hands and a wide catching radius. If the Rams had drafted a WR, clearly Pettis would be out. I view him similar to Gibson, he's a subpar receiver who I would rather see on another team if only to make our DBs job easier when we face him.
