Timeline
Gregory Ellis Buttle (born June 20, 1954) is an American former professional football player who was a linebacker for the New York Jets of the National Football League (NFL).
He played college football for the Penn State Nittany Lions, earning consensus All-American honors in 1975.
A 1975 consensus All-American, Buttle was also the captain of the Nittany Lions that year.
Considered by Penn State coach Joe Paterno "as fine a linebacker as any prospect produced by this school," he still holds the school records for tackles in a game (24), and season (165).
Buttle was selected in the 3rd round (#67 overall) of the 1976 NFL Draft by the New York Jets for whom he would play 9 seasons
(1976–1984) at starting outside linebacker.
Two interceptions in the Jets' 1981 playoff game against the Buffalo Bills helped fuel a comeback effort, which ultimately fell short, in the franchise's first playoff game since the 1969 season.
He was a member of defensive coordinator Joe Gardi's Swarm defense which included fellow Nittany Lion Lance Mehl, as well as the New York Sack Exchange defensive line.
In 1983, Buttle opened a fitness center in East Meadow, New York.
Buttle served as an on-air analyst for WCBS-TV in New York City, alongside play-by-play man Ian Eagle, for Jets preseason games, and hosts Jets Gameday on the Jets Radio Network and ESPN New York alongside Don La Greca.
He also serves as an analyst on the SNY studio show Jets Nation.
In 2000 Buttle was honored with the Butkus Silver Anniversary Award, which honors the top college linebacker from 25 years ago.
He has been named a Penn State All-Time NFL Player.
In 2005, he was inducted into the Nassau County Sports Hall of Fame.
Buttle grew up in Linwood, New Jersey, and attended Mainland Regional High School in Linwood.
Buttle was a 4-sport letterman in football, basketball, baseball and track and field, and was also a champion oarsman while on the Margate City Beach Patrol, as well as participating in musical theatre.
He is a member of the Ocean Rowing Hall of Fame.
He stood atop the Penn State career tackles list for over 30 years, until Paul Posluszny surpassed his mark of 343 versus Wisconsin on November 4, 2006.
He was the temporary fill-in host on WABC radio in NYC, in the 10:00 AM – noon slot, until Geraldo Rivera took the chair permanently on Jan. 3, 2012.
On August 7, 2018 it was announced that Buttle would no longer work alongside Eagle for Jets preseason games, having been replaced by former Jets tight end Anthony Becht.
Buttle has received numerous honors and awards in recognition of his commitment to the community including National Spokesman for the United Way.
He holds a Bachelor of Arts in general arts and sciences from Penn State University.
He lives in Northport, New York with his wife, Rita, a son and two daughters.
