13 yrs old? Who are you kidding? You went back in time to 30 mins ago.uh...ok....just went back in time to 13 years old...
I liked him pre-draft. Was surprisingly underrated. Happy to see him land here.
Here a little preview . if you care
(originaly posted in UDFA thread: NE 2017 Draft haul + udfa
you have info and links for all UDFA players there . ill bump it tomorrow pre game)

Don't sleep on Adam Butler, DL, Vanderbilt
6'4, 293, 5.23/1.82, 7.51
Doesn't come across as most athletic player but he had better 3-cone than any DT at Combine (the closest was Tanzel Smart who was connected to Patriots) and very competitive 10y. A bit undersized he reminds me of Anthony Johnson (who was much more undersized) with his feisty play, motor and versatility along the line. He is not the missile like Easly but seems to be the next one in search of interior rushing DT.
I stumbled across him watching Cunningham's tapes. There was a funny guy making all kinds of plays. When I looked it up it was Butler.
Here is his game vs Tenn. (look f.e. at 10:20 for one of his great plays. Note that is late in 4th Q after playing whole game, so that can tell you a lot about his motor.)
Look at this tape vs. Florida and you won't believe this guy wasn't taken much earlier.
He doesn't sleep at starts of the games either. Look at Butler's (#69) play f.e. at 0:15 & 0:35 - two big TFLs in first 3 min, and then 2 sacks at 2:22 and 2:55:
Let's add two clips from Loyko from Tenn game for those not watchig 10 min tape:
BTW - he also played OG . and he looks like one too..
Wonderful UDFA pickup.

I remember when Bill was down there. Cunningham? Holden? Nope Butler.
Wears #69?
I bet Gronk put in a good word for him.
Is Gronk going to give up his number so Butler can keep his? Doubt it.
