4 critical observations from Commanders 2023 training camp Day 14

Commanders DB Percy Butler continues to emerge

It's no secret that Percy Butler has been one of the camp standouts so far, The talented defensive back is looking for more involvement after flashing briefly as a rookie, which could arrive despite the two starting safety positions locked up by Kamren Curl and Darrick Forrest.

The Washington Commanders will find it very difficult to leave Butler out based on his performance levels in practice and during Friday's preseason game against the Cleveland Browns. This session was another impressive one from the Louisiana product, who seems to be growing in confidence and is starting to feel like he belongs.

Butler came up with another interception on Sunday from a Jacoby Brissett throw. He also caught the attention of those in attendance thanks to an outstanding pass defense during scrimmages.

This is another positive step forward for Butler, who drew praise from head coach Ron Rivera for his development recently. How he performs against the Baltimore Ravens will be a good measuring stick in terms of his development, but the signs are incredibly positive right now, and long may it continue.

If Butler comes through this latest challenge with flying colors, expect to see plenty of three-safety sets deployed by Commanders' defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio throughout the upcoming campaign.
