I remember his civil rights advocacy during his time with the Cowboys. He was strong, courageous and honest. I wish he´d considered running for office, he was remarkably intelligent and charismatic, not to mention positive and upbeat. I thank him for his service which was done while he was playing for the Cowboys. RIP Pettis.
