Former New England Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler hasn’t played in an NFL game since 2020.
And the Super Bowl XLIX hero confirmed to Houston television station KPRC on Saturday that he won’t play in the NFL again as Butler is calling it a career.
“I am retired,” Butler said, as transcribed by The Boston Globe’s Christopher Price. “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.”
Butler, 34, played seven seasons in the NFL, with four of those seasons coming with the Patriots after going undrafted.
