With the 30th overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers have selected DT Vernon Butler from Lousiana Tech.
Position: Defensive Tackle
Measurables: 6’4’’, 323 pounds, 5.33 40-yard dash, 26 bench press reps, 35 1/8 arm length
Analysis:
Butler has great size and versatility, which will greatly help his draft position. He looked great at the Senior Bowl and was disruptive in college (23.5 tackles for loss). Is a great athlete for his size and has the ability to be more than just a run stuffer. Butler doesn’t have the name recognition of some of the prospects from bigger schools, but has the same potential.
