Super Bowl 2015: Tom Brady Wants to Give His MVP Truck to Malcolm Butler
— -- Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady said today he wants to give his MVP prize, a Chevy Colorado truck, to the man who intercepted the ball and led to the New England Patriots' fourth title.
"I'd love to [give Malcolm the truck]," Brady said on Boston sports radio station WEEI. "We're going to figure out how to make that happen."
Butler, an undrafted rookie from West Alabama, has been lauded as a hero by Patriots fans for catching the winning interception at the one-yard line with 20 seconds left in the Patriots' 28-24 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
Butler, 24, was a cashier at a Popeyes restaurant in Mississippi in 2008.
"It's an incredible play, and not only that, that's the type of plays Malcolm makes for our team," Brady said, according to ESPN. "A guy like Malcolm who makes that type of quick, instinctive plays, that's one of his strong suits. I don't think it surprised any of us players because that's what his skill set is."
What may be Butler's new truck was also the same model that was awkwardly presented to San Francisco Giants pitcher and World Series MVP Madison Bumgarner back in Oct. 2014.
Chevrolet, meanwhile, said it has "no issues" with Brady giving his truck to Butler.
"It’s a classy move and a good fit for the truck," GM spokesman Patrick Morrissey told ABC News. "Malcolm’s interception was a game changer, and the Chevrolet Colorado has been a game changer in the pick-up truck segment."
