Linebacker
3rd Round
Penn State
"Drafted third, Buttle is a strong player with quick feet and 4.85-4.9 speed in the 40. Scouts like his quick reaction and movement to the outside as well as his reading of the offense. His natural instincts are a big part of his football success.
Buttle's career stats include 341 tackles (178 solo, 157 assists), five fumble recoveries and five interceptions. His best year was 1974, with 86 solo tackles and 79 assists.
His honors include seven All-America teams: AP, UPI, NEA, Football Writers, Walter Camp, Sporting News and Football News. He was All-East, both AP and UPI. Greg was a participant in the Japan, Sugar, Cotton, Orange and Hula Bowls and played in the 1976 College All-Star Game.
Greg majored in arts and sciences, his hobbies include flying and rowing, and his ambition is 'to be the best at whatever.' His father is an FBI agent. His hometown is Linwood, New Jersey."
