Mr. Irrelevant

The Mr. Irrelevant is given to the player selected last overal in the NFL Draft. The first 'Mr. Irrelevant' was in 1976, Kelvin Kirk was selected 487th overall by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Paul Salata, a former NFL receiver, in 1976 came up with 'Irrelevant Week'. After the draft takes place, the new 'Mr. Irrelevant' and family are invited to Newport Beach, California, for a week to take part in a golf tournament, a regatta, a roast, and are awarded the Lowsman Trophy. The Lowsman Trophy is a take-off of the Heisman Trophy, but with the player fumbling the ball. The week-long event benefits local charities. In the 34 year history, they have raised over $1 million.
