New York Giants The
New York Giants picked Petitgout in the first round in the
1999 NFL draft, the 19th pick overall. Thrust into a
starting role immediately upon being drafted, Petitgout played
left guard and right tackle before settling as the Giants' left tackle in 2002. He was bothered by back problems in 2003 and 2004. He broke his leg midway through the
2006 season. On February 12, 2007, he was released by the Giants.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers Petitgout signed with the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers in March 2007. Petitgout started out the
2007 season as the Buccaneers' starter at left tackle, but tore his
ACL in week 4 against the
Carolina Panthers. This injury led to Petitgout being placed on
injured reserve, ending his 2007 season. The Bucs released him on August 16, 2008. ==Honors==
