New Orleans Saints wide receiver Emmanuel Butler played his way into the favor of Saints fans with several impressive camp showings ahead of the 2019 season. Despite the hype around him, Butler was derailed by an injury that slowed his production in camp and the preseason. The former Northern Arizona wideout then spent the season on the practice squad, returning to the Saints on a Futures contact in 2020.
Now, his focus has been on improving parts of his game that might not bring him a ton of attention and highlight reel footage. Instead, he’s been focused on finding ways t improve elsewhere like contributing on special teams and blocking.
