Former Penn State WR Deon Butler, one of the more eye-catching rookies in Seattle's mini camps, signed a multi-year deal with the Seahawks on Friday, according to the AP.

"It's good to know I'm about to go into camp on time and not miss any practices," Butler told the Daily Collegian.

Butler didn't even know his signing was announced and didn't offer specifics on his deal.

"There's a lot of numbers in there," he said.

Team training camp starts Thursday and Butler will try to latch on and earn a position for the fall. Right now, he's at home working out and hanging out with family.

He said he talks regularly with former teammates Jordan Norwood and Tony Davis.

He is Penn State's all-time career receptions leader with 179 catches. His 2,771 receiving yards and 22 TDs are second-best and third-best in school history, respectively.

Despite some attention in rookie camps, Butler is entering training camp in the mindframe he still has to prove himself.

"I treat it the same," he said. "I still gotta go out and make plays."
