versatile Michigan lineman who made a real positional leap
Carson Butler’s defining trait in the 2008 season was versatility: Michigan moved him from tight end to defensive end midseason, and he immediately began contributing on defense while bringing a 6-foot-5, 250-pound frame and a physical edge. His background as a pass catcher hints at athleticism and coordination that can make him a matchup-friendly project if you value upside and toughness over instant polish. The catch: he was still a developmental piece rather than a finished product, so he fits best for a team patient enough to coach up his raw traits into consistent edge production.
