Butler was an "invited tryout" player who got his chance in May of that year. The coronavirus pandemic scuttled most college pro days, wiped out all rookie minicamps and obliterated the NFL's traditional offseason, making it became almost impossible for long shots to make their mark and, consequently, the 53-man roster.
