Pros- Freak size. 6-5+, 227lbs, 10 3/4” mitts, 35” arms with a 84” wingspan. There isn’t a CB in the league that wouldn’t have a massive disadvantage going into the game.
Hands. He has a huge catch radius and with his freakish hand size can one hand poorly thrown balls or PI plays where the defenders holding onto his arm.
Adjustment. Adjusts nicely to the ball in the air. Uses body to shield defenders well and will follow the ball into his breadbasket.
Cons- Route running is average. Man amongst boys usually so gets lazy and lethargic getting off of snap or in and out of his breaks. But when he’s on his size makes in tough for the defenders to jam and his hips are loose enough to sell a fake to get a defender to bite. Needs more refining.
Speed. AB is a human joystick out there and Butler will not replace that. And his 40 time will be 4.55-4.65 just like Plaxico Burress. But like Burress he’s a long strider and his burst off the line might not be quick but once he gets to his top speed he can run away from almost anyone.
