Coming out of college, WR Hakeem Butler looked to be the next physically imposing wide to dominate on the outside. Standing 6-foot-5 and 227 pounds Butler had the size to win combative catches down the field and in the end zone, being a red zone threat thanks to his sheer size and height. He also possessed great leaping ability and deceptive long speed, making him an enticing prospect coming out of Iowa State.

However, consistency in terms of drops as well as a lack of nuanced route running caused Butler to drop in the 2019 NFL Draft, being selected by the Arizona Cardinals in the fourth round.
