| Strengths | Very fluid athlete with exceptional quickness. Shows good natural instincts in coverage and a high football IQ. Locates the ball well and shows good timing in making a play on the ball. Very intense competitor who plays with confidence and purpose. Has good enough hands that he played some WR. Does a good job avoiding blocks and sifting through traffic. Not afraid of coming up in run support. Respected in the locker room and by his coaches for his competitive spirit and leadership. 4-year starter in a BCS program. Looked strong in coverage during Senior Bowl week.
|
| Weaknesses | Undersized and slight framed. Really lacking in physical strength; if the ball carrier gets his shoulders squared, Butler just bounces right off him (see Rutgers and Pitt games in 07). Doesn’t have elite top-end speed, more quick than fast. Will gamble and rely on his great athleticism to recover with mixed results. Can be overly cocky on the field. Has some durability and injury concerns after missing time with a knee injury.
