Bradley Jay Butler, Jr. (born September 18, 1983) is an American former professional football player who was a guard and tackle for the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League (NFL). He was selected by the Bills in the fifth round of the 2006 NFL draft. He played high school football at E.C. Glass High School and college football for the Virginia Cavaliers.
Butler is one of three Cavaliers in school history to start four consecutive bowl games. He started 31 consecutive games at right tackle, the longest streak at the University of Virginia since 1998. As a senior, Butler started all 11 games he played. Butler drew attention in 2005 when he hit Boston College defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka with a chop-block in the back of his knees several seconds after the whistle, in what is referred to as "the cheap shot heard 'round the ACC."[1] Butler was suspended for the following game by his own team as a result of the dirty late hit. He won the Rock Weir Most Improved Player Award in 2005.
