Biography

Early years

Johnny Butler was born September 14, 1918, in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Collegiate career

Prior to playing professionally, Butler played football at the college level while attending the University of Tennessee from 1939 to 1941. As a sophomore in 1939, Butler ran 56 yards for a touchdown against the University of Alabama.

Butler's Tennessee team was extremely successful during his three years on the varsity, appearing in the 1939 Rose Bowl, 1940 Sugar Bowl, and 1941 Orange Bowl.[1]

Professional career

Butler was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1942. He would go on to play for both Steelers merged teams ("Steagles" in 1943; "Card-Pitt" in 1944).

In 1943 Butler was drafted into the military due to World War II, however he was physically disqualified for duty. He then made his first start with the "Steagles" one day after being ruled 4-F by his draft board for poor eyesight and bad knees.

During the 1944 season, Butler was fined $200 by co-coaches Walt Kiesling and Phil Handler for what they characterized as "indifferent play". He was then put on waivers and was soon claimed by the Brooklyn Tigers.

In 1945, he played his final season in the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles.

In 1946 Butler signed to play with the Bethlehem Bulldogs of the American Football League, after Bulldogs owner Bob Sell purchased his contract from the Eagles for an undisclosed sum.[1]

Death and legacy

John Butler died in April 1963 at the age of 44.

He was elected into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame in 1997.
