In December, 2012, Malcolm Butler was coming off his first season playing for the Division II University of West Alabama Tigers, where he made 49 tackles and registered an impressive five interceptions. At that point, he was still years away from being the hero of Super Bowl XLIX.
All the same, he had the confidence to tweet about (then) second year Atlanta Falcons receiver Julio Jones:
I wanna check julio jones…lol……real talk doe..

Butler still had another season to go in college, and eventually went undrafted in 2014.
