Malcolm Butler

Malcolm Butler, American football player
Malcolm Terel Butler (born March 2, 1990) is an American football cornerback for New England Patriots of the National Football League (NFL). He played his first four seasons with the Patriots, who signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2014. Butler was also a member of the Tennessee Titans for three seasons.

A two-time Super Bowl winner and Pro Bowl selection during his Patriots tenure, Butler is best known for his goal line interception in the final seconds of Super Bowl XLIX. The interception, which prevented a go-ahead touchdown and effectively ensured the Patriots' victory, is regarded as one of the NFL's greatest plays.
