Big-frame QB with upside, but still needs a clear runway
Butterfield brings the classic “how is that guy still available?” profile: a 6-foot-6, 225-pound quarterback with a clean transfer pedigree from Oregon and enough arm talent and poise to project as a steady, system-friendly passer. In 2023 at San Jose State, he completed 7 of 11 passes for 80 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions, flashing efficiency rather than volume. The appeal is the size, quick release, and calm pocket feel; the question is whether he can turn backup-to-starter potential into consistent game reps and command.
