Curran: BB on how Butler "forced his way" onto roster



I suspect we've all heard this already, but this still was a good read, especially in Bill's words. Emphasis added because it so well articulates The Patriot Way.

Belichick continued. “So, we didn’t even have a roster spot, we created one. He came in and he played well in the spring, carried that over into training camp, ended up making the roster and was on and off the roster at different times during the year...He kept competing, he kept getting better and from West Alabama to Arizona and the Super Bowl is a long way. But he did it with a lot of hard work and he had an opportunity and he took advantage of it so it is really kind of a dream story for him and, you know, for all kids that play sports.”

The departure of Darius had created a vacancy at the Butler position.
 
“So, we didn’t even have a roster spot, we created one. He came in and he played well in the spring, carried that over into training camp, ended up making the roster and was on and off the roster at different times during the year . . . He kept competing, he kept getting better and from West Alabama to Arizona and the Super Bowl is a long way. But he did it with a lot of hard work and he had an opportunity and he took advantage of it, so it is really kind of a dream story for him and, you know, for all kids that play sports.”

Heads up to people wondering about Dobson, Boyce etc. It's up to you.
