Finds home in D.C. The Commanders selected Butler in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 113th overall.

Impact Butler brings significant speed to the Commanders' secondary, as he ran a 4.36 40-yard dash at 6-foot, 194 pounds. Over his final two seasons at Louisiana, Butler posted 105 tackles, 13 pass breakups, three interceptions and a sack. He'll still need to fine-tune his ball skills and perhaps bulk up before he can take on a significant workload on an NFL defense.
