They say that everyone gets their 15 minutes of fame, and for the last pick in the NFL draft, this fame is given the title of Mr. Irrelevant. However, there is more than 15 minutes involved for this player, as there is an Irrelevant Week, held for the title holder each year in Newport Beach, California, which includes a parade and roast.

However, once this celebration of their draft status is over, the draftee has to get his head back in the game and focus on football - most Mr. Irrelevant's never make an NFL active roster, and most are out of the NFL within 2 years. In fact, of the past 10 Mr. Irrelevant's, only 2 are in the NFL today. However, there have been a few standouts, and some have even won Super Bowl rings. Ironically, the most famous Mr. Irrelevant is famous for having nothing to do with football. Jimmy Walker was Mr. Irrelevant in 1967. However, he was also the #1 pick in the NFL draft that year, going on to a notable NBA career, and fathering former NBA player Jalen Rose.
