Super Bowl XLIX’s Top Two Stars Were Working at Popeye’s and Foot Locker While Awaiting Their Shots [Video]

Of course the big money names of Tom Brady and Marshawn Lynch dominated the Super Bowl game this year, but two unlikely stars grew from humble jobs just a year ago to make their mark on sports' biggest stage Sunday night.

Malcolm Butler's Super Bowl saving goal line interception sent Patriots fans in New England into a frenzy with a 28-24 win over Seattle.

However, he and Seattle wide receiver Chris Matthews had both waited for their chance to shine while working pretty average jobs in pretty ordinary places.

The 24-year-old Butler was an undrafted free agent working the drive-thru at Popeye's and wondering if he'd ever get a chance to go pro. Luckily for him, the Patriots came calling and signed him before training camp. And after last night's big play, it appears he won't be asking, "would you like fries with that" anymore.

He also went from goat to star quickly, having tipped the ball into Jermaine Kearse's hand moments earlier on what was on of the best catches ever in Super Bowl history.

Matthews had not caught a pass in the regular season or the post season before setting up a touchdown and then scoring a touchdown, providing almost all of the Seahowaks first half offense in the process. Matthews worked as a security guard and sold shoes at Foot Locker while waiting for another chance to play pro football.

#FootLocker was trending in the first half as Matthews story came to light, giving the athletic shoe chain tons of free advertising. He was a midseason pick up for the Seahawks, and as it turns out, a dman good one.
