The coach admits Butler was off his radar by his senior season until a surprise turnaround.

Not anymore. Vicksburg's principal Deowarski McDonald, who was a teacher and assistant principal when Butler attended, said the story can inspire. On Wednesday afternoon, a handful of students were working on building a giant football that would be part of a float during the parade.
Butler's high school football coach Alonzo Stevens said part of the player's popularity comes from his unlikely rise to fame. The people in the town can relate to him and his imperfect past.
"What I loved him about him more than anything is when he messed up on the football field or in life, he owned up to it," Stevens said. "He never passed the buck. He's a hard worker and a fairy-tale story."

Eventually, he earned his way back onto the Hinds football team and then played two seasons at West Alabama, a NCAA Division II school.
McDonald said Butler had an interest in his hometown school long before he became a Super Bowl hero. During the Patriots' bye week,Cheap Jerseys, Butler returned to talk to the football team and offer a few words of encouragement.
"How many people can say I want to be an NFL player while wearing a Popeyes uniform, and then actually become the Super Bowl hero?" Flaggs said. "That's phenomenal. That won't happen again in our lifetime."

Now, he'll be honored in a setting that's a little more familiar.
