Malcolm Butler became a household name with his game-clinching interception in Super Bowl XLIX. Naturally, fans wanted to give the rookie cornerback credit on social media. Unfortunately, a number of them must have had former Patriots cornerback Darius Butler on the mind ... because they tweeted at him instead of Malcolm:
You're welcome bro RT @mikemacdonald7: @DariusJButler thank you thank you thank you#superbowlchamps
