Share

As part of our coverage leading up to the 2016 NFL Draft we will provide profiles of more than 150 prospects, including a scouting report and video interviews with each player.

Vernon Butler (DL), Louisiana Tech

6’4” | 323 lbs.

2015 stats:

50 tackles, 10 TFL, 3 sacks, 2 PD, FR

Selection:

1st Round, 30th overall to Carolina Panthers

Scouting Report:

"Where He Wins: Butler moves differently than most interior defensive linemen. He can be slippery on counter moves or off the snap, even at 6’4/325 lbs. Butler has displayed the ability to win through his opponent and around them. Don’t go too far with this comparison, but Butler can win in the same ways as Mo Wilkerson. A “leap of faith” candidate due to poor athletic testing." - Josh Norris, Rotoworld.com
