Halfway through the 2018 season people were very skeptical of Tennessee Titans GM Jon Robinson’s investment in cornerback Malcolm Butler.
People were quick to throw dirt on the grave of his career and honestly I wasn’t much better.
Through eight games I was thoroughly discouraged with him because he seemed like a high variance player that never got his shots in. Imagine if you had a “gunslinger” quarterback who only threw deep interceptions and never threw the long bombs and you have a pretty good idea of what Butler was as a playmaking CB who wasn’t making any plays.
