Hands of steal

07/30/2012

Jack Butler, an undrafted free agent from tiny St. Bonaventure, made his mark on the game during nine seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Although a rugged tackler, he made his biggest mark by intercepting passes. He returned his first NFL pick 52 yards for a touchdown. It marked the first of 52 career interceptions during his stellar career.

Thirteen times in his career Butler intercepted two or more passes. Here’s the breakdown of his career interceptions.
