Chevrolet presented Super Bowl XLIX Most Valuable Player Tom Brady with the Pete Roselle Trophy and a brand new 2015 Chevrolet Colorado this week in recognition of his efforts during the New England Patriots 28-24 win over the Seattle Seahawks.
Now Brady wants to give the truck away to a deserving teammate.
Brady told Boston sports radio station WEEI that he'd "love to" give Patriots safety Malcolm Butler the truck for his incredible Super Bowl-winning interception on a Russell Wilson pass heading for Ricardo Lockette at the 1-yard line with just 20 seconds remaining in the game.
"It's an incredible play, and not only that, that's the type of plays Malcolm makes for our team," Brady said on the radio show. "A guy like Malcolm who makes that type of quick, instinctive plays, that's one of his strong suits. I don't think it surprised any of us players because that's what his skill set is."
It's not like he hasn't won a new car before. Brady won his record-tying third Super Bowl MVP on Sunday, so if anyone can spare a truck, it's him.
"A lot of people didn't get to see (Butler's skills) throughout the course of the season," Brady said. "(Butler's interception) comes off as a great play, which it really was, at the biggest time of the year."
The undrafted rookie out of West Alabama currently makes the veteran's minimum salary, though Butler probably earned himself free drinks for life after his clutch play that ended the Seahawks dreams of a repeat.
Butler said on ESPN's "Mike & Mike" radio program that his work in practice helped him prepare for the biggest play of his career.
"At practice, the scout team ran that same play and I got beat on it. (Coach) Bill (Belichick) told me, 'You've got to be on that.' At that time (of the play), memorization came through," he said during the interview. "I just jumped the route. I just made a play. Just do your job, do it the best way you can. I just did my job."
Butler was honored Tuesday alongside teammate Julian Edelman at Disneyland during a celebratory parade down Main Street, U.S.A.
