Jake Butt

That's five if you include Butt's brief 2021 stay in Chicago. A celebrated college player at Michigan, Butt fell to the fifth round of the 2017 Draft after tearing his ACL in the 2016 Orange Bowl. That was the second of what would end up as three tears, limiting him to 10 catches in four years. Now 26, Butt's body simply would not cooperate with the football lifestyle. 

He'll begin at the butt end of Chicago's depth chart, which still currently lists 34-year-old Jimmy Graham, sophomore Cole Kmet, and run-blocker J.P. Holtz atop the position. Butt, 25 in July, has just 10 career receptions across eight games played due to a lengthy injury history.

Butt's career never took off with the Broncos as he was constantly sidelined by injuries. Drafted in 2017, Butt has just 10 career receptions across eight games played. Luckily for Butt, Arizona's depth chart is incredibly weak. Maxx Williams, who posted 102 yards in nine games last year, is currently projected as the team's starting tight end. If Butt gets signed and makes the final roster, he could earn more playing time in 2021 than he has throughout the previous four years of his career combined.

A hyped college prospect, injuries prevented Butt's Broncos career from ever getting off the ground. It's remarkable he survived in Denver as long as he did. Of Butt's 10 career receptions, two came in 2020. Four months shy of his 26th birthday, Butt's NFL future is not bright.
