Mr Irrelevant: A Football Players Dream

The National Football league’s draft was conducted recently. Only 262 players were drafted this year out of thousands of hopefuls.

There’s only 1 Mr. Irrelevant.

The National Football League Draft is the once-a-year extravaganza where the 32 teams comprising the league stock their teams with the best 262 players available in the world.

Mr. Irrelevant is the last player to be selected.

Who says the National Football League doesn’t have a sense of humor?

But wait! There’s more!

Launched in 1976, Irrelevant Week is recognized by the NFL as the annual celebration that honors the last person selected in the draft.

Founded by NFL alumnus Paul Salata (wide receiver at the University of Southern California. San Francisco 49ers 1949–50, Baltimore Colts 1950, Pittsburgh Stealers 1951) Irrelevant Week is a charitable event that is held in Newport Beach, California, whose main celebrity attraction is the final draft pick of the latest NFL draft.

Mr. 262, his family, and his friend are treated like royalty with trips to local attractions like Disneyland, Hollywood tours, a major league baseball game (Dodgers and/or Angels), Knotts Berry Farms in addition to activities such as surfing lessons and taking advantage of all the delights of the warm SoCal sun.

Mr. Irrelevant, family, and friends are the guests of honor at the Lowsman Banquet. A parody of the Heisman Trophy honoring the #1 college player that year and probably close to the #1 draft pick. The intent is to recognize the underdog in sports and Mr. Irrelevant certainly qualifies.

Out of the 45 Mr. Irrelevants eligible for Irrelevant Week, only kicker Ryan Succop ever played in a Super Bowl (LV) as a starter and active participant.

Irrelevant Week has raised over $1,000,000 for charity over the years to promote youth sports in the area among other worthy causes.

This year’s Mr. Irrelevant is Brock Purdy, a record-breaking quarterback out of Iowa State taken in the 7th round as the 262nd pick of the San Francisco 49ers.

Maybe Brock Prouty is Mr. Irrelevant to the cynical eyes of the NFL but to Iowa State:

“As relevant as any football player in the school’s history — regardless of position,” wrote Randy Peterson sports columnist for 50 years with the Des Moines Register.
