Drew Butler was added to the Cardinals 2014 roster due to a a lingering hamstring issue to Dave Zastudil. Butler was projected to be a short term replacement until Zastudil recovered, where he was to take the reigns once again. That however did not happen, and Zastudil found his way to season ending IR, and Butler had a chance to prove himself. In that season he punted a total of 79 times, for 3328 yards, two of which were blocked, and an average of 42 yards, and a net yardage of 36.
Many fans were disappointed in his performance, primarily due to his inability to deliver consistent hangtime on the ball.
