Super Bowl Rematch Revives Malcolm Butler’s Iconic Pick as He Coaches High School Football

His post-NFL path centers on mentorship at St. Thomas High School in Houston.

Overview

  • Butler is entering his fourth season as St. Thomas High School’s defensive backs coach, with head coach Raymond Davis praising his energy and hands-on approach.
  • Renewed national attention on his Super Bowl 49 interception has surged ahead of Sunday’s PatriotsSeahawks rematch, and Butler is in the Bay Area reflecting on the moment.
  • After the Patriots released him in 2022, he settled in Katy, Texas, which led to a chance neighborhood encounter that connected him with St. Thomas.
  • St. Thomas reached the TAPPS Division I championship game in Butler’s first season in 2023 and made the playoffs in each of the next two years.
  • Beyond coaching, Butler runs a free annual football camp in Vicksburg and supports the United Way of Mississippi and the American Diabetes Association.
