New England Patriots Draft Profile Michigan TE Jake Butt

Another injury prone tight end? No thanks

I'd rather have Kittle. Best blocking TE I've seen in a long time. He's also an incredible athlete.

"He has good but not great size for an inline tight end at 6’5, 246-pounds..."

That's what I read. You probably know more about him then I do.

Lets get down to sizes most of us are familiar with. What's the difference between a blocking tight end in HS who is 6'1", 190, and a TE who is 6'2", 205? Could be quite a bit.

here is the measurement.

butt was measured at 6ft 5 1/2.


i think he will end up being heath miller/todd heap type. just a solid pro. nothing flashy. just solid.


i would get him in 4th.

Heath Miller was a decent blocker from what I remember. Jake Butt isn't a good blocker - just a pass catcher.

Hope he doesn't get hurt.

To my mind another Heath Miller is high praise. He was a gritty old time style TE.

Well I got it. Nice.
