Malcolm Butler became a household name with his game-clinching interception in Super Bowl XLIX. Naturally, fans wanted to give the rookie cornerback credit on social media. Unfortunately, a number of them must have had former Patriots cornerback Darius Butler on the mind ... because they tweeted at him instead of Malcolm:

You're welcome bro RT @mikemacdonald7: @DariusJButler thank you thank you thank you#superbowlchamps — Darius Butler (@DariusJButler) February 2, 2015

Butler (Darius) took it well, however, and revealed in the process that he's a pretty funny guy:

Very smooth, Mr. (Darius) Butler. Not quite as smooth as what the other Mr. Butler did, but that's kind of a high bar to hit, you know?
