One of the more lighthearted traditions in professional sport is the annual naming of the NFL’s “Mr Irrelevant”, the last player chosen in the seven round draft of college players made each spring. The exact number of players chosen in the draft varies year to year, but is usually between 250 and 260. That said, at least Mr Irrelevant is more relevant than the many players picked up as undrafted free agents.
It is good to see then, this year’s Mr Irrelevant not only made it through training camp and onto his team’s final roster, but that he is now starting in the NFL and kicking points for them as well, in spite of his unglamorous title.
