At a meeting this past Monday with the media, Michigan Wolverines junior tight end Jake Butt laid out very specific criteria when it came to his impending decision to enter the 2016 NFL draft or return to college for his senior season.
"I'd say it's 50/50," Butt said, via Mark Snyder of The Detroit Free Press. "It would have to be a top-three-round deal for me to even consider coming out. That's what I've been hearing right now, that I would be in the top three rounds. That's why I'm considering it."
On Tuesday, Bleacher Report NFL Draft Lead Writer Matt Miller backed up Butt's projections, slotting the 6'6", 248-pounder as a third-round pick in his latest mock draft.
