Tom Brady Would ‘Love’ To Give His Super Bowl MVP Truck To Malcolm Butler
Tom Brady would like to re-gift his brand new Chevy truck to Super Bowl XLIX hero Malcolm Butler, but that hadn’t happened as of Tuesday morning. Brady received the prize when he was named the MVP of the Patriots’ 28-24 win over the Seattle Seahawks at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., on Sunday.
“I would love to give him the truck,’’ Brady responded during his weekly WEEI appearance on Tuesday morning when asked if he’d consider turning the keys over to Butler. “I would love to do that. I’m going to figure out how to make that work.’’
Brady’s four-touchdown performance may have earned him MVP honors, but Butler made the signture play of the game. An undrafted rookie out of West Alabama, Butler interecpeted a pass from Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson at the goal line in the closing seconds to seal the Patriots’ win.
It was initially reported that Brady might have already given the Chevrolet Colorado that he was awarded as MVP to Butler, but the transaction had apparently not taken place by the time Brady spoke to WEEI on Tuesday. Based on Brady’s comments, it was unclear if external forces were holding up such a transaction.
“I can tell you we have not been contacted by Tom Brady yet,’’ Cristi Vasquez, Communications Manager for Chevrolet told Boston.com. “We would be happy to recognize Malcolm Butler for his game-changing performance, just as the Chevy Colorado was recognized as a game-changer.’’
