Keith Butler ‘Encouraged’ By Bud Dupree’s Development

After registering 4 sacks and 26 total tackles during his rookie season, Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker Bud Dupree will be expected to improve immensely in his second year and that should happen be a result of a complete understanding of the defense. Last week, Steelers defensive coordinator Keith Butler talked to the media about Dupree’s development and the expectations he has for him in 2016.

“I am encouraged by him,” Butler said, according to Teresa Varley of steelers.com. “When we went to see him before we drafted him, I talked to him a lot about defense, what we expected from him, from our outside linebackers.
