Charmin drops off toilet paper to Jake Butt prior to draft

Former Michigan tight end Jake Butt doesn't mind people having fun with his last name. The folks at Procter & Gamble sure are taking advantage.

The parent company of Charmin toilet paper delivered a truckload of the squeezable, soft product to him in his hometown of Pickerington, Ohio, on Wednesday.

The nature of the relationship between Procter & Gamble and Butt is unclear. A request for comment was emailed to P&G.

The gesture surely was a nod to Butt's last name, which elicits snickers wherever he goes. He embraces it.

"I love it so much," he told ESPN last August. "I think that's one of my greatest traits. It has really allowed me to grow my platform and build my brand."

Butt has made a name for himself as a football player for being a two-time Big Ten tight end of the year. He is ranked by ESPN Insider Todd McShay as the fifth-best tight end in the NFL draft, which starts Thursday.
