Hakeem Butler leading St. Louis Battlehawks in XFL

Former Cyclone Hakeem Butler leads the XFL with six touchdown receptions through eight games of league play this season.

Over the weekend, he helped secure the victory for his team in the first overtime finish in league history.

Butler has 435 yards this season on 42 receptions, good for 10.4 yards per catch as the postseason approaches.

The Battlehawks currently sit second in the XFL’s North Division with a 6-2 record and can clinch a playoff spot with a win on Sunday against Seattle (2:00 p.m. ESPN).
