Patriots Training Camp Report: Look For Butler to Bounce Back

Having his worst day of camp is a good jolt of reality for the 2nd year corner

The Patriots conducted their first day of two joint practices with the New Orleans Saints on Wednesday and it wasn’t the best day for Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler. The left cornerback entering his second season has been stellar all summer long but got picked on by the Saints throughout the session.

Butler is hardly the first corner to be picked on and apart by Saints QB Drew Brees, and he will be far from the last, but after being the Patriots best player thru the first three weeks of training camp it was the first time Butler has struggled this season.
