In one instant, one unforeseen moment, everything changed. On the brink of defeat with an entire offseason of hurt upcoming, Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and the rest of the New England Patriots witnessed their fate turn on a dime courtesy of cornerback Malcolm Butler.

Despite owning one of the most memorable and amazing plays in NFL history, Butler reveals he doesn't particularly enjoy discussing it, according to Phil Perry of Pro Football Talk.

“Kinda. Somewhat. Not really,” Butler said in response to whether he enjoys talking about his Super Bowl interception of Russell Wilson. “I've been trying to build, build my resume. I've been trying to move on from that. I want to be a good player without that play. I am a good player without that play … Might've came up a little short this year, but I always try to put that play behind me and build a whole other resume.”

For those with short memories, Butler's play is most likely the most famous interception in Super Bowl history.

With time winding down and the Seahawks needing a touchdown, they had just come off a play that saw beast Marshawn Lynch gain positive yards. Everybody in the world expected a run at the goal line yet Butler simply attacked the slant off the rub play and robbed Seattle of its second championship while providing Bill Belichick and Tom Brady their fourth.

It's not that Butler despises the play. The kid simply doesn't want to be known for only one play.

Since the moment that forever turned him into a household name as a rookie, Butler has since picked off eight regular interception balls while chipping in with two sacks, two fumble recoveries, four forced fumbles, 50 passes defensed, and 177 total tackles in 48 games.

Malcolm Butler's New England Patriots will take on the Philadelphia Eagles this Sunday in Super Bowl 52 for a shot at the organization's sixth Vince Lombardi Trophy.
