The players who became the NFL draft’s Mr. Irrelevant
Mr. Irrelevant is a tribute to the player chosen last in the NFL Draft.
The last pick in the NFL Draft is honored as Mr. Irrelevant. He is feted in Southern California as if he were the first pick. Thanks to Mrirrelevant.org we can back at the players and what became of them.
Kelvin Kirk was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 17th round of the 1976 NFL Draft, making him the first Mr. Irrelevant. He wound up playing seven seasons in the Canadian Football League with the Toronto Argonauts, Calgary Stampeders, Saskatchewan Roughriders and Ottawa Rough Riders. Kirk worked as an artist for the Ottawa Citizen before his sudden death by heart attack while playing a pick–up game of basketball in 2003.
