Petit-Frere is a 6-foot-5, 316-pound former third-round draft pick from Ohio State where he was an All-Big Ten Conference selection and a second-team All-American.
In the NFL, he has 28 starts in 34 career games. He served a six-game suspension from the league for a violation of its gambling policy. He was waived by the San Francisco 49ers in June.

He has played in three games for his career, but none since the 2022 season.
