Conan O’Brien gave James White a truck for his Super Bowl performance

Patriots running back James White set Super Bowl records for the most receptions (14) and most points scored (20) in New England’s 34-28 overtime victory over the Atlanta Falcons. But he still lost out on the Super Bowl MVP award to quarterback Tom Brady, and didn’t receive the free automobile that occasionally comes with the trophy.

Brady said he thought White deserved a truck during a post-Super Bowl press conference on Monday, but it turns out Brady couldn’t give him one like he did with Malcolm Butler after being named the MVP of Super Bowl XLIX in 2015 because there was no truck to give this year.
