AFLWA Player of Week (Week 14)
June 3, 2008 - Arena Football League (1987-2008) (AFL I) News Release
Maybe this should be renamed the Will Pettis Award.
For the second consecutive week and the fourth time this season, the Dallas wide receiver/defensive back took the Player of the Week honors, as voted upon by board members of the Arena Football League Writers Association.
Pettis, in his sixth season, all with Dallas, again caught four touchdown passes, ran for one and passed for another. He had a game-high 13 catches for 118 yards in the Desperados 68-52 win over Cleveland on Saturday night.
He scored two of his six touchdowns in the fourth quarter and also had a team-high six tackles. His longest catch of the night was a 21-scoring reception from Clint Dolezel in the second quarter that gave Dallas a 13-10 lead that it would never relinquish.
Pettis will try to win the award for the third consecutive week against Eastern Division-rival Philadelphia this Saturday night.
