Sports Brief: Butler, Bishop not drafted, both sign free agent deals

Former Nevada football players Ezra Butler and Adam Bishop were not selected in the NFL Draft last week, but did sign free agent contracts.

Butler, a linebacker last season, signed with the San Francisco 49ers and will be in mini camp in May for a chance to earn a roster spot.

The 6-foot-2, 245-pound outside linebacker led the Wolf Pack in tackles (87), tackles for loss (12.5 for 31 yards), forced fumbles (3) and interceptions (3).

Bishop caught 14 balls for 223 yards and seven touchdowns. He also blocked well when needed.
