Wasn’t TO like the all time leader in drops or something?
Here’s my thing.. you gotta be able to catch like an nfl receiver, if you catch with your hands, you attack the ball, you can catch it in a variety of ways meaning over the shoulder, coming back to it, shielding off on crossers, boxing out, then you catch well enough, some really great receivers have struggled with concentration drops, and many of them are forgotten because of all the other great catches they make. I HATE drops, but what I hate even more is an unnatural catcher, a receiver who can only catch in one way like kelvin Benjamin who’s got all the strength in the world but still has to catch all arms and body making his box out worthless, butler has drop problems for sure, but he is also an excellent catcher of the ball because ANY TIME you put it up there’s a good chance he can make a play no matter the situation.
I firmly believe Hakeem butler is gonna be special, I would rather go with a safer prospect, sure, but if we got butler I’m all in on him because you can’t convince me that the dude flat out can’t catch, you don’t put together the career he’s had if you can’t catch.
