No San Francisco 49ers receiver surpassed 500 receiving yards this season. Rookie Dante Pettis, however, got close. He was second among 49ers wide receivers with 467 receiving yards and tied tight end George Kittle for the most receiving touchdowns with five.
Pettis caught 27 passes in 2018, and the NFL posted the following video on Twitter featuring the receiver's best plays from his rookie campaign.

The 49ers made Pettis a second-round selection out of Washington. He appeared in 12 games with seven starts in 2018. Pettis missed three games due to a knee injury sustained during a Week 4 contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. Six of his seven starts came during the 49ers' final six games of the season.
Linebacker Fred Warner commented on the video.
