FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots selected Memphis cornerback Kobee Minor with the final pick of the NFL Draft on Saturday, and Minor said the "Mr. Irrelevant" moniker that comes with the pick fits him well.
"To me, I love it because I've never been a highly recruited guy, I've never been a top guy," he said after hearing his name called with the 257th selection. "It's just adds fuel to my fire."
Minor, who grew up in Dallas, Texas, was a three-star prospect out of high school who began his college career at Texas Tech (2020-22) before playing one season apiece at Indiana (2023) and Memphis (2024).
