WATCH: UW's Pettis makes history with ninth punt return TD

  Pettis broke a tie with Antonio Perkins and Wes Welker on the all-time list.

Punt return touchdowns are some of the most dynamic and exciting plays in football. Washington wide receiver Dante Pettis has nine on his resume. 

Pettis set the FBS record with his ninth career punt return for a touchdown Saturday night in the Huskies’ game against Oregon. The touchdown return was his fourth of the season. He had two each during his sophomore and junior campaigns, and one during his freshman season.
