Although Delray Beach's Bobby Butler was just 5-10 and 163 pounds when he wore the Garnet and Gold, he was a big man in the Seminoles secondary. During his four-year career that spanned from 1977
until 1980, he literally covered Seminole territory. His 11 interceptions rank seventh on FSU's career list despite opponents who consistently steered clear of him. In his senior year, Butler received
his due recognition when the Associated Press picked him to the third team on its annual All-American squad. During Butler's four years at Florida State, the Seminoles were 39-8 and played in three bowl games, including the 1980 and 1981 Orange Bowls. When Butler put his football cleats away in the fall, he donned track cleats for the spring season, running the sprinting events and helping Florida State's track team to a third place finish nationally in 1980. The Atlanta Falcons made him their first round draft pick in 1981 and he still makes his living today with the National Football League club.
