Malcolm Butler To Receive Parade In Mississippi Hometown

VICKSBURG, Miss. (AP) — New England Patriots defensive back and hero of Super XLIX Malcolm Butler will be honored with a parade in Vicksburg Saturday.

The parade and ceremony will start at 2:30 p.m.

Butler, a 2009 graduate of Vicksburg High, received the national spotlight when he intercepted a pass at the 1-yard line with less than 30 seconds remaining in the game to secure a 28-24 victory over the Seattle Seahawks.

Vicksburg mayor George Flaggs Jr. will present Butler with the key to the city at the Vicksburg Convention at 4 p.m.
