It has been a long time coming for Packers legend Leroy Butler. The wait didn’t bother him. “In is in, that’s what Cris Carter told me.” Leroy Butler told Damon Amendolara on The DA Show on Monday morning.
“Now I know what it feels like when a young lady meats a nice young lady, and it’s been five years he’s never proposed… next thing you know you give up and there’s a knock on the door and it’s Charles Woodson. That gold jacket is like a wedding dress.” Butler added on the surreal feeling he finally received last week.
Butler’s life and road to the NFL was a difficult one. From growing up in projects full of crime, to needing the same leg braces he himself compared to Forrest Gump.
“I remember my mom telling me, I was disabled and special needs kid, I told her I wanted to play in the NFL. She was like, if you ever win a Super Bowl for the kids in the projects that is so impactful. Butler said. “Then she said if you ever make it to the HOF, Hall of Fame, that’s the pinnacle of your life because that gives you the platform to speak out on your story.”
Leroy Butler will have one gigantic Lambeau Leap into Canton this summer.
