FOXBORO — With pick 257, the final selection in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots chose Memphis defensive back Kobee Minor.
Before arriving at Memphis, Bryant spent three seasons at Texas Tech — from 2020 through 2022 — and one season with the Indiana Hoosiers in 2023. Last season, his lone campaign with the Tigers, Minor played in 11 games, logging 38 total tackles — seven of which went for loss — two sacks, six passed-defensed and two forced fumbles.
As such, Minor now becomes the Patriots "Mr. Irrelevant.” The nickname is given to the player who is selected with the last pick of each year's draft.
