Iowa’s compact, productive senior back with proven all-purpose juice
In his 2017 senior season at Iowa, James Butler brought a physical, low-center-of-gravity running style and produced 396 rushing yards with one touchdown after transferring in for his final college year.[2][5] He also had a track record as an all-purpose weapon, averaging 143.08 all-purpose yards per game and rushing for 1,000+ yards in consecutive seasons before Iowa, which signals more than just between-the-tackles grit.[5] The fit question is simple: if you want a back who can survive contact, contribute in multiple phases, and add veteran toughness, Butler is the kind of runner coaches trust.[5]
