One quality that offers instant intrigue about a player in the NFL is size at the wide receiver position. Many wide receivers get drafted above their talent level simply due to their size, with teams hoping that they can either dominate with just their natural abilities alone or develop into a skilled player.

Many of them never do, in part because they were likely so used to doing the former against a lower level of competition. Hakeem Butler may not have exactly been overdrafted as a fourth-round pick, but he’s certainly continued to get second and third chances because of the intrigue of his size at 6-5, 227 pounds.
