Wide receiver Hakeem Butler has been named the UFL’s first offensive player of the year. He earned this accolade due to his outstanding performance during the league’s inaugural season following the merger with the USFL. Despite being drafted by the Cardinals in the fourth round of the 2019 draft, Butler only saw regular season action in two games with the Eagles in 2020. However, he proved his skills on the field and made a significant impact in the UFL after a brief stint with the Steelers last offseason.
Butler stood out with 45 catches, 652 receiving yards, and five touchdowns for the St. Louis Battlehawks. His impressive stats made him a standout player this season, leading to his selection for this prestigious award. As he prepares for the conference title game against San Antonio, Butler has an opportunity to further showcase his talent and help lead his team to victory. His success on the field has solidified his reputation as a top performer in the league.
As Hakeem Butler continues to make an impact on and off the field, he is sure to be recognized as one of the best wide receivers in UFL history. With his incredible talent and determination, there is no doubt that he will continue to excel in this exciting new league for years to come.
