From Texas to Wisconsin
Drafted by the Houston Texans, Pettway played on their practice squad and saw limited action in regular season games. Though resigning with the Texans in the 2006 offseason, the team released him and Pettway signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he played in several regular season games over a span of two years. He was released by the Jaguars after their 2008 training camp, signing with the Green Bay Packers a month later to bulk up their injury-ridden defensive line.
