Crezdon Butler
Crezdon Butler (born May 26, 1987) is an American former professional football defensive back. He played college football at Clemson University. He was selected in the fifth round, with the 164th overall pick in the 2010 NFL draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers. As a journeyman cornerback, Butler was a member of eight different NFL teams; the Steelers, Arizona Cardinals, Washington Redskins, Buffalo Bills, San Diego Chargers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Detroit Lions and Seattle Seahawks. He was also a member of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Toronto Argonauts and BC Lions of the Canadian Football League (CFL).
Butler was born in Asheville, North Carolina, and attended Asheville High School, where he led the Cougars to the 2005 divisional championship. Rated a four-star cornerback by recruiting services like Scout.com and Rivals.com, he chose to attend Clemson University over other schools such as the University of South Carolina, University of North Carolina, and Virginia Tech.
As a true freshman, Butler received playing time as a cornerback in nickel and dime packages, recording three interceptions. He was named a starter in his sophomore year, and managed to record three picks. Butler became a standout in his junior year, producing 68 tackles (three for a loss) and four interceptions, including one key interception against Nebraska in the 2009 Gator Bowl. Butler chose to return to Clemson for his senior year and earn his degree in sociology, electing to wait one more year before declaring for the NFL draft. During the course of his senior season, the fear of turning the ball over caused opponents to throw his way just 14 times in the whole season, dropping his statistical output to only one interception and 8 passes defensed. Butler finished his collegiate career with 166 tackles, two sacks, and eleven interceptions.
Butler was originally projected to be a late first round selection before his senior year. After his statistically lacking season, opinions as a whole dropped negatively: some sources regarded Butler as an undrafted free agent target, while others rated him as a possible fifth round target.
The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Butler with their fifth round selection, 164th overall, of the 2010 NFL draft. Butler was regarded as a long and athletic cornerback with good ball skills, albeit with a weak statistical senior season. He was signed to a three-year rookie contract, and was named to the 53-man roster. Although he was drafted in the fifth round only the year prior, he was waived by the Steelers on September 3, 2011.
On September 4, 2011, Butler was claimed off waivers by the Arizona Cardinals. He was placed on the injured reserve list on September 20 due to a dislocated ankle. On August 31, 2012, he was waived by Arizona, being one of the final roster cuts before the start of the 2012 season.
On September 1, 2012, the Washington Redskins claimed Butler off waivers. After playing in only two games, he was waived-injured on September 25 after suffering a hamstring injury in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Cardinals re-signed Butler on October 9, 2012, but released him a week later. He re-signed with the Arizona Cardinals on October 23, 2012, and was assigned to the practice squad.
