INDIANAPOLIS – Seated inside the downtown Indianapolis location of Brother Bar & Grill in late April, Darius Butler was busy signing autographs at the Colts 2017 Draft Party when pick No. 15 flashed up on the screen.
Ohio State safety Malik Hooker.
A month and a half earlier, the Colts had signed Butler to a new contract, and a new position.
Butler would be (and is) making the switch to safety in the 2017 season.
Having been in the league since 2009, Butler understands the workings of professional football and he certainly got the selection of Hooker, even if it potentially will affect his playing time this fall.
