Butler Wants Lighter Dupree To Keep On Learning The Defense

When Pittsburgh Steelers second-year outside linebacker Bud Dupree arrived at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe for the start of training camp on Thursday he was reportedly 20 pounds lighter than he was during his rookie season. While Dupree’s offseason weight loss was probably noticeable to the naked eye, Steelers defensive coordinator Keith Butler noticed it in another way during the team’s first practice on Friday.

“We saw him move yesterday. He moved pretty good yesterday, so we’ll see how he moves when he gets pads on and see how he adjust,” Butler said in a Saturday interview that was aired on Steelers Nation Radio.
