Early years[edit]
Butler attended Eisenhower High School in Rialto, California, where he was teammates with Ryan Clady. He graduated in 2005.
Professional career[edit]
Dallas Cowboys[edit]
Butler recorded his first two career sacks and caused a fumble recovered by Dallas against the Carolina Panthers on Sept 28 2009. On November 8, 2009, he sacked Donovan McNabb (then a Philadelphia Eagle) with a shoe string tackle to stop a critical Philadelphia drive.
New Orleans Saints[edit]
On March 28, 2013, Butler signed a two-year contract with the New Orleans Saints. He was the last Cowboy of the 2009 draft class to leave Dallas.[2] On June 12, 2013, Butler suffered a torn ACL during training camp after a collision with fellow teammate Mark Ingram, likely eliminating Butler for the entire 2013 season.
