Who is he?
Well, heck,

He does have two NFL receptions!

6'4" is nice though.

Played at N Dakota, supposed to be

a decent athlete and route runner. Why not?
Is this practice squad  
Biteymax22 : 10/19/2021 3:43 pm : link
or active roster?

I know Sills isn't exactly the hero we were hoping he'd be in camp but its interesting to me they'd leave him on the practice squad in favor of signing a similar sized guys who's total NFL experience is 2 preseason catches and I don't think was on a practice squad.

They promoted Colin Johnson and Pettis over Sills. Not sure his future here is as bright as a lot of us liked to think in preseason.

sexy moves!

I assume this signing is to replace Board. I guess that means the Giants have seen enough of Pettis to not want to promote him to the 53. Sills was never going to be promoted. As someone said, the Giants signed Johnson and made Pettis active twice instead of Sills.
I would suggest reading

this article from July and watching the video before assuming he has been signed to the active roster.

Playing for the 7 on 7 Fan Controlled Football League?? That's a new one on me.

My guess- he was signed to the Practice Squad

You're right, I just assumed it was the PS, but that wasn't clear in the title.

Colin Johnson was a waiver claim from another team and Pettis has return/specials experience, so not exactly the same. Either way it does look as if this kid is going to the practice squad. It just seemed odd given his experience that he’d go right to the active roster.
Bring Sills up from the PS..  
Alamo : 10/19/2021 7:42 pm : link
Give all the fans a break..Bring the kid up for 2 games..If he can't do the job,cut him..If he plays better then his talent suggests,keep him..If you ask me,this kid can play..I have seen him here at WVU...He is not so fast,not that big,but I think his heart weighs 25lbs..Sometimes,that is all a man needs to be very good..So let him try JJ !!

OK. It's Pettis to the 53 and Toivonen to the PS as others have speculated.
Stacey Robinson was the last WR we had from North Dakota

Pettis was once a 2nd Rd. pick, I want to say the Niners?
He was really good in college, but hasn't figured it out?

Give which fans a break? Why do you say all fans?
