Former Patriots Super Bowl hero Malcolm Butler has officially announced his retirement.
The 34-year-old Butler, who made the game-saving play in Super Bowl XLIX when he picked off Seattle’s Russell Wilson on the goal line, told Houston television station KPRC over the weekend that he was happy with everything he accomplished in his career.
“I am retired,” Butler said. “I did the best I can do. Walking away from the game feeling comfortable. Everybody can do more, but I’m satisfied with my career. It’s time to move on and transition.”
