It’s the dubious distinction given to the very last or 256th pick in the NFL Draft. Paul Salata, a former NFL wide receiver is credited with starting the good natured Mr. Irrelevant movement way back in 1976. At first, some football fans snickered at the title given to the NFL Draft’s final selection. And, many NFL prospects bristled at the thought of being picked last in the draft and then being jokingly called Mr. Irrelevant. But, newly appointed Mr. Irrelevants have ample reason to celebrate.
