Chandler Jones expects Malcolm Butler to star for the New England Patriots

Super Bowl hero Malcolm Butler could become a major impact player for the New England Patriots, says defensive end Chandler Jones.

New England Patriots defensive end Chandler Jones has tipped cornerback Malcolm Butler to have a big impact this season.

Butler became well known for his last-gasp interception on the goal line to deny the Seattle Seahawks a game-winning touchdown in the Super Bowl last season.

However, Jones insists that the 25-year-old is not a one-play wonder and believes that he can impress this year.

He told ESPN: "I know you guys only heard of Malcolm Butler during the whole Super Bowl thing and that big play, but Malcolm has been making plays for us the whole season in practice, and he's been getting good looks for us. So I'm excited for him to step up as one of the impact players as well.

"Malcolm Butler is a very quiet guy. He's a guy that knows his role. He does a good job of ignoring the hype. All the things that are going on with him, and his life changing with that big play, he's still the same person, and I really admire him for that."

Butler started one game for the Patriots last season.
