Overview
Pettrey has good size and athleticism for the position. He had another solid season but has never been outstanding throughout his career. Pettrey has a live leg and handles both field goals and kickoffs with relative consistency while showing range from 50-plus yards. He will make a solid attempt at an open field tackle as needed and is a competitive player. He has split the placekicking duties throughout his time with the Buckeyes which has hindered his overall production. Likely a late-round draft choice depending on his showing at the combine.
Analysis
Weaknesses
Pettrey has shown the tendency to miss in close at times. Doesn’t have as much experience as other placekickers in this class after splitting time in college.

| Grade | Title | Draft (Round) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 96-100 | Future Hall of Famer | Top Pick | A once-in-a-generation type prospect who could change how his position is played |
| 85-95 | Immediate Starter | 1st | An impact player with the ability/intangibles to become a Pro Bowl player. Expect to start immediately except in a unique situation (i.e. behind a veteran starter). |
| 70-84 | Eventual Starter | 2nd-3rd | A quality player who will contribute to the team early on and is expected to develop into a starter. A reliable player who brings value to the position. |
| 50-69 | Draftable Player | 4th-7th | A prospect with the ability to make team as a backup/role player. Needs to be a special teams contributor at applicable positions. Players in the high range of this category might have long-term potential. |
| 20-49 | Free Agent | UDFA | A player with solid measurables, intangibles, college achievements, or a developing skill that warrants an opportunity in an NFL camp. In the right situation, he could earn a place on a 53-man roster, but most likely will be a practice squad player or a camp body. |
