FOXBOROUGH, MA - Students at Foxborough High School to discover that they had a new classmate for the day who seemed to stick out a little bit, if only for his notable performance in his extracurricular activities.

Monday, Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler joined wellness class at Foxborough High School, took some questions, and spent lunch with students.

After a question and answer session, Butler went to the gym for class but not before making sure he was in proper shape for CJ Neely's class, according to the Patriots. The All-Pro cornerback led the warm up and even took part in a pushup challenge.

Butler said the chance to meet fans is the least he can do.

“They let me know, each and every time I do this, they let me know, kids, students, grownups, a lot of people look up to me,” Butler told the team's lifestyle website. “They’re thankful of me and I just try to show the love back and I’m just doing what I do. I appreciate the love, that’s it.”

This isn't the first time students in Foxborough have received a surprise visit from a member of the Patriots. Last year, Rob Gronkowski did a tour of the Foxborough schools.
