A standout redshirt junior campaign had Iowa State's Hakeem Butler among the top wide receiver prospects in the 2019 NFL draft, but two days have come and gone in Nashville, Tennessee, without his name being called.
Now, as this year's draft enters its final day, he will have to continue to play the waiting game.
After showing steady improvement through each of his first two years on the field for the Cyclones, Butler broke out in a big way in 2018. He established new career highs in receptions (60), yards (1,318) and touchdowns (nine) in his final year in college.
