Georgia Tech

DraftNasty.com Description

Mario Butler (#2 pictured above) has never missed a game for the Yellow Jackets and returns to help a struggling secondary that gave up 208 passing yds/game last season. With former Virginia head coach Al Groh taking over as its new defensive coordinator, the team will rely heavily on Butler to provide leadership at the cornerback position. Although he possesses the skills to be an All-ACC performer, he needs to improve his overall strength to avoid being overpowered by bigger receivers.
