(NEWS CENTER Maine) — Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler, hero of the Patriots' incredible Super Bowl XLIX victory over the Seattle Seahawks in 2015, is expected to sign with the Tennessee Titans, according to an ESPN report.

Adam Schefter tweeted early Tuesday night citing a source that the two-time Super Bowl champion would be headed to Tennessee to play under former Patriots linebacker Mike Vrabel.

Butler has spent all four of his professional seasons in New England. The team signed him in 2014 after he went unpicked in the NFL Draft. He totaled eight interceptions, four forced fumbles and 177 tackles as a Patriot.

The 28-year-old's miraculous, last-second interception of Seahawks Russell Wilson in Super Bowl XLIX sealed the Patriots' fifth championship title.
