Malcolm Butler is back.
The New England Patriots cornerback has returned to the team where his career started. And though he said “it feels like yesterday,” he also admitted he’s hardly on strong standing during the offseason. There’s plenty of uncertainty ahead of the season in a position group that lost its top cornerback, J.C. Jackson, during free agency.
“I feel like I have a lot to prove, especially to myself,” Butler said at Gillette Stadium during OTAs on Tuesday. “If I do it myself, I’ll prove it to my teammates at the same time. So that’s why I’m working hard every day and trying to stay focused.”
