Hakeem Butler aims to secure a Broncos wide receiver spot in camp

Denver Broncos wide receiver Hakeem Butler, a former UFL standout, has the opportunity to impact the team's roster. Signed this offseason, Butler has not caught a pass in the NFL despite a notable career in the UFL, where he recorded 138 receptions for 2,192 yards and 20 touchdowns. He has been impressive in early training camp, vying for a place among a crowded group of receivers. The Broncos currently have five receivers likely to make the roster, but Butler could secure a spot if he outperforms competition from Lil'Jordan Humphrey and several undrafted rookies. Butler’s size and deep-ball ability may appeal to head coach Sean Payton’s strategy as the team looks to finalize its roster ahead of the preseason games.
