Great stuff on one of the best stories from Patriots training camp this year. Every summer at least one or two undrafted rookies carve out a role for themselves, but few have done so with such flair as Butler. It seems like every practice or game he’s making big plays on the ball. Can it continue into the regular season? It seems like he should certainly make the roster, but doing it in August is one thing. Doing it in the fall and winter is something else. But with a story like this everyone should be rooting for him to make an impact in an already crowded secondary.
The Patriots are taking a long look at undrafted cornerback Malcolm Butler, who started opposite Darrelle Revis. Butler shined in the preseason opener, and while he wasn’t tested at the same rate in this game, he doesn’t seem to be out of place. He played both the right and left side and had one of the plays of the game – a forced fumble in the second half that he also recovered.

Good read from Frenz here. It’s a good story but once Dennard and Browner get back we’ll have a better sense of where Butler sits.
