DEON BUTLER RUMORS & GOSSIP
Seahawks Rookie Receiver Gets his Chance to Prove his Worth
A costly injury for Seattle could be a golden opportunity.
During training camp and the preseason I sung the praises of Deon Butler, the rookie wide receiver out of Penn State. Buried on the depth chart, Butler hasn’t put up big-time numbers this season, but he could get his chance to start turning heads now that [...]

In Rookie Deon Butler, Seahawks See Potential for Much-Needed Help at Wideout
When you think of a record holder in career receptions from a major Division One football program, you hardly think of a 5-foot-10 168 pound guy who came to the school as a walk-on at defensive back.
While Deon Butler lacks size, he still made his presence felt on the field at Penn State.

Deon Butler, forensic scientist
Deon Butler doesn't cut an initimidating profile. At least not in comparison to linebacker Aaron Curry. The two have become pretty good friends since being drafted by the Seahawks, they spend a good chunk of time together and given the fact that Curry's got about 80 pounds and at least 4 inches on Butler, people assume that Butler is his friend from back home.

Draft Recap: Day Two Selections (1/2)
Deon Butler, Wide Receiver
Penn State University
Third round, 91st overall pick
The second day of the draft opened with the third round, and there was no way it could’ve been as eventful for Seattle as the first day had been. Or at least that is what I thought. Under the assumption that Seattle wasn’t going to [...]

Week 13 Big Ten Recap
Indiana - 10 :: Purdue - 62I figured Purdue would step it up to ensure that Joe Tiller retires as a winner, but I never would have imagined that they would drop 62 on the Hoosiers. Purdue actually led 41-3 at the half and didn't let up. They continued to pile it on in the second half en route ...
