Darius Butler

Is Darius Butler still on the Pat McAfee Show? What happened to Darius Butler on the Pat McAfee Show?

Yes, as of November 2026 Darius Butler is still a co-host of The Pat McAfee Show, and nothing has happened to his spot in anything we could source: no departure, suspension or exit has been reported by the show, ESPN or the trade press. The show’s podcast notes for November 9, 2026, an episode live from U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, open with “Pat, Darius Butler, AJ Hawk, and the boys,” and the November 4, 2026 notes list “another edition of Everything DB.” On October 21, 2026 the notes put him live from Los Angeles with McAfee and AQ Shipley while the rest of the crew stayed in Indianapolis. One listing feeds the question: the Pro Football Hall of Fame notice for the show’s August 6, 2026 broadcast from Canton named McAfee with AJ Hawk, Boston Connor Campbell, Ty Schmit and Tone Digz and did not mention Butler, but the show’s notes list him on the August 5 and August 10, 2026 episodes on either side of it. Two moments on the show also get searched: on April 1, 2024 he and McAfee paid tribute to their former Colts teammate Vontae Davis after his death, which Fox News reported the next day, quoting Butler that he would “always remember” Davis; and the show posted a clip titled Ty Sharts His Pants Putting An Early End On Darius Butler’s Everything DB, about a segment cut short by a crew member, not by him.

Darius Butler stats: was Darius Butler good in the NFL? Is he in the Hall of Fame?

Darius Butler played 124 NFL games over nine seasons, from 2009 to 2017, with 15 interceptions, four of them returned for touchdowns, 333 tackles, 67 passes defended and eight forced fumbles, per his ESPN stats page. His best years came with the Colts: four interceptions and two pick-sixes in 11 games in 2012, and four interceptions, 54 tackles and 15 passes defended in all 16 games in 2013. FOX59 reported in March 2017, when the Colts re-signed him on a one-year deal, that he had played slot cornerback, outside cornerback and safety for them, and had intercepted Aaron Rodgers in a 2016 start at safety. The Colts made him their 2017 nominee for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, per ESPN; neither ESPN profile lists a Pro Bowl. He is not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, whose member list does not include him, but he was inducted into the Broward County Sports Hall of Fame in Florida on October 18, 2024, per Coral Springs Talk and Our City Media. We found no accepted outlet that printed his career earnings, so we do not list a figure.

Where did Darius Butler go to college? What were his college stats?

Darius Butler played college football at the University of Connecticut, where he started all 45 games he played at cornerback and made 125 tackles, 10 interceptions and 26 passes defensed, per the Patriots when they signed him on July 13, 2009. He was a two-year team captain and a first-team All-Big East pick as a senior in 2008. New England took him in the second round, 41st overall, the third of its four second-round picks that year. Before UConn he played at Coral Springs Charter School in Florida, per his ESPN bio.

Is Darius Butler vegetarian?

Darius Butler has not said he is vegetarian in anything we could source. What is public: in a July 2017 food diary for Sports Illustrated, written while he played for the Colts, his meals included a steak stir fry, a roast beef sandwich, turkey and curry chicken, and he wrote, “I’m not a big eater.” In 2014 he told Colts.com that he liked making his own smoothies with “just natural fruit, oats.”

Does Darius Butler live in Indianapolis? Where is he from?

Darius Butler has not published where he lives, and we do not guess beyond what is public. What is public: The Pat McAfee Show, where he is a co-host, is made in Indianapolis, the city where he played his last six NFL seasons for the Colts, and the show’s podcast notes for October 21, 2026, for example, have the rest of the crew “back in Indy” while he was in Los Angeles. His ESPN bio says he was born on a U.S. military base in Frankfurt, Germany, and grew up in Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Famous Birthdays and his ESPN player page list Fort Lauderdale as his birthplace.

Darius Butler lawsuit: is this Don Darius Butler? Is he related to Malcolm Butler?

He is also not Malcolm Butler, the Patriots cornerback whose interception won Super Bowl XLIX: ESPN reported on February 3, 2015 that fans tweeted their thanks at Darius by mistake, and he played along, replying “Im just here so I dont get fined.” His actual football family, per Famous Birthdays, includes his cousins Willis McGahee and Geno Atkins and his uncle Gene Atkins, all of whom played in the NFL.

Who represents Darius Butler?

As of November 2026, no agent or manager is named for Darius Butler on his own profiles or in the trade press; a bio of him is posted on the website of Maxx Sports & Entertainment Group, which describes him as a retired NFL defensive back, but we found no trade press report naming it as his agency. His show work runs through The Pat McAfee Show, which airs on ESPN, and his NFL Matchup work through ESPN. Ames Create does not represent him; we cover him because people keep asking whether he is still on the McAfee show and how good he was as a player, and the show’s notes and his stats answer both. If that changes, this entry will say so.
