Lions GM Martin Mayhew feels Pettigrew can play a bigger role in the passing game in 2015, detroitlions.com reports.

Analysis:

Pettigrew caught just 10 passes for 70 yards in 14 games last season. Both totals are the lowest of his career as he was asked to be more of a blocker in 2014. Mayhew says that the team is figuring out ways to utilize the tight end position as a whole, so while Pettigrew won't all of sudden return to his days of catching 70 to 80 passes he could see a slight uptick in production in 2015.
