Hakeem Butler refining game under tutelage of Calvin Johnson, Anquan Boldin

Indianapolis — About the only thing bigger than Iowa State wide receiver Hakeem Butler at the NFL's scouting combine is the assist he's been getting with his preparation for the draft.

Checking in slightly bigger than 6-foot-5, Butler is the tallest receiver at the event. And, in his opinion, he's also the best. But he's not about to resting on the laurels of his 60-catch,1,318-yard season in 2018. He's also not waiting until he's drafted to develop his game. In the months leading up to finding out where he'll begin his professional career, Butler has been working to refine his game with former NFL superstars Calvin Johnson and Anquan Boldin.
