A traditional, pro-style offense that prioritizes a blocking tight end with reliable hands over dynamic receiving threats is best suited for Butt's skill set.
Year 1 as a rotational blocking TE, eventually developing into a starting Y-tight end with red-zone upside.
Any spread RPO or Air Raid offense that demands high-volume receiving from its tight ends.
Butt's blocking prowess and dependable hands make him a valuable asset in traditional schemes, though his athletic limitations cap his receiving upside. However, given his size/weight, his ability to block should not be overlooked given that there are increasingly fewer true Y-TEs in the NFL. Given his body mass index, you should consider him an extraordinary blocker.
