James Lang-USA TODAY Sports
The last person chosen each year in the NFL draft—known as “Mr. Irrelevant”—has become an iconic part of the event. Some of the final picks have made NFL rosters during the season, while others have fallen short of reaching that goal out of training camp. And course, most recently, one “Mr. Irrevelant” has made a significant impact on the NFC West.
