Midwest Legends Episode #28: Leroy Butler Pt. 1 -- The Projects, Puntrooskie, and Getting to the NFL

This episode was so good, it had to be a two-parter! You may know him as the inventor of the Lambeau Leap or for his run in the iconic Puntrooskie play, but in this week’s Midwest Legends episode Leroy takes Russell back in time to his life before the Packers. Leroy grew up with everything stacked against him. He grew up in the projects in Duval County, Florida, was raised by a hardworking single mother, and had a physical disability where he couldn’t run or jump like the other kids. None of that stopped him from achieving his biggest goal: playing in the NFL.Tune in to hear this amazing journey of overcoming the odds from the entertaining and joyful perspective of Leroy Butler!
