Undrafted from West Alabama, Malcolm Butler had a brief, yet potent career as a Defensive Back in the NFL.

Butler signed with the New England Patriots, making the squad, and becoming a Pro Bowl at Cornerback in his second year (2015).  Butler, who would have eight picks as a Patriot, will be forever known for the one in Super Bowl XLIX, against Seattle, that cemented the game and won it all.  He would also help New England win Super Bowl LI.

Butler would finish his career with the Tennessee Titans (2018-20), and had 17 Interceptions in total.

Although they were certainly white, our next listed band proved to be anything but average. The Average White Band was a Scottish group who blazed through the 70’s with a string of Soul, Funk and Disco tunes that displayed technical brilliance. They blurred the expected color lines of music and anyone who just heard them (that is without hearing their ironically titled band name) would never have guessed what they would have looked like and where they were from. Chances are that they may not have had a successful enough run and enough hits for Hall consideration, but they are certainly worth a glance.
