Hakeem Butler Signs With Steelers
2 years agoThe Pittsburgh Steelers signed free-agent wide receiver Hakeem Butler to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday. Butler caught 51 passes for 599 yards and an XFL-best eight touchdowns in the spring for the St. Louis BattleHawks. The 27-year-old was originally a fourth-round selection by the Arizona Cardinals in 2019 out of Iowa State, but he never played for Arizona and only saw action in one season (2020) with the Philadelphia Eagles and didn't record a catch on one target in two games. Butler brings size to Pittsburgh's receiving corps at 6-foot-5 and 227 pounds, but he'll strictly be battling for a roster spot at training camp this summer.
