If you were wonder why the New England Patriots decided to bench Malcom Butler during the Superbowl, we finally got an answer.

Malcom Butler, 28, who is now with the Tennessee Titans has revealed why he got benched on the most important day of any NFL players career. Read on…

CelebNSports247.com has learned via New England Patriots Beat reporter for the Boston Herald, Jeff Howe, said he spoke with Malcom Butler.

Howe said:

“Just spoke with Malcolm Butler on a number of topics, including his Super Bowl benching. He hasn’t spoken with Bill Belichick since they departed Minnesota but surmised why he didn’t play that night.”

Malcom Butler had this to say to ESPN when asked about being benched:

“I never got a reason. I feel like this was the reason: I got kind of sick. I went to the hospital. They probably thought I was kind of late on the game plan. I wasn’t as locked in as I should be and could have been a matchup deal. It could have been anything.”

He adds:

“But Bill Belichick has been doing this for a very long time. He took a veteran out of Super Bowl XLIX [against the Seahawks] and put in a first-year rookie, and that turned out right, so you could never question his decision. It didn’t work out right [against the Eagles]. It didn’t work out the best for me or him or the New England Patriots. But I can say he won more than he lost, so it is what it is. I always have love for New England, Bill Belichick, Mr. Kraft, all those guys. Life just goes on.”

Wow, really?

In February, Malcom thanked and explained the accusations that landed him on the bench were NOT true:

No worries though, Butler has moved on, the NFL cornerback agreed to a deal with the Titans this week.

Butler played 98 percent of the defensive snaps in the regular season in 2017, started 47 of 48 for the Patriots over the past three seasons.

Butler had this to say about signing with the Titans on Thursday:

“I just keep my faith and believe in God. And right now, I am blessed with another team. … I am glad to be a Tennessee Titan.”

The 5-foot-11, 190-pounder NFL hunk will join veteran cornerback Logan Ryan, his former teammate in New England, and promising second-year cornerback Adoree’ Jackson.
