The NFL draft has a weird tradition. The final player selected in every draft since 1976 has been granted the title of Mr. Irrelevant. And that young prospect gets to participate in a week-long celebration in Newport Beach, California that includes a parade, a banquet/roast in his honor and a trip to Disneyland, which less than an hour away. All of which is done in part to benefit local charities.
Since its inception, only one drafted member of the Dallas Cowboys has held the honor of being Mr. Irrelevant. And that’s Montana State guard Lee Washburn all the way back in 1978.
