Butler, who spent training camp with the Steelers last summer and now plays for the St. Louis Battlehawks, currently leads the UFL in receiving yards with 618, ranks third in receptions with 43 and second in touchdowns with 5. Fox Sports’ Joel Klatt has him as the frontrunner for 2024 Offensive Player of the Year.
