Anthony Butler is a proven ball-hawking veteran with disruptive upside
Butler brings a quarterback’s frame, prior college experience at the position, and a rare defensive track record that includes a standout 2020 at Liberty, when he logged 67 tackles, 2 interceptions, 4.0 tackles for loss, and 6 passes defended while starting 10 games. He profiles as a high-intensity, assignment-sound defender with instincts in coverage and enough physicality to contribute around the ball. The main fit question is role: his value is strongest for a team that can leverage his football IQ, versatility, and competitive toughness rather than treat him as a one-tool athlete.
