The Carolina Panthers have signed sixth-round draft choice (198th overall)

As a senior in 2009, Gettis earned honorable mention All-Big 12 Conference recognition after ranking second on the team with 52 catches for 675 yards and three touchdowns.

"David Gettis is a big, tall receiver who can run and got better as the (his senior) year went on," said Panthers general manager Marty Hurney. "He has a lot of big-play potential."
