Georgia inside linebacker Tae Crowder was the final pick of the NFL Draft, also known as Mr. Irrelevant.
The New York Giants took Crowder at #255 overall in the seventh round.
Crowder was surprisingly the only Georgia player picked from last year’s defense that ranked No. 1 overall in college football.
Crowder, a one-time running back, came to Georgia in 2015 and then moved to linebacker midway through his redshirt freshman season in 2016.
He really grew into a great linebacker during his time at Georgia, and now the 6-foot-3 235 pound linebacker is a New York Giant.
The Giants also selected Georgia offensive tackle Andrew Thomas with the #4 overall pick.
Here is the Twitter reaction to Crowder becoming 2020’s Mr. Irrelevant.
W A R R I O R: @TaeCrowder is ready for the @NFL. The @Giants are lucky to have him.#NFLDraft

And the last player drafted this year, the player the NFL deems âMr. Irrelevantâ, goes to the NY Giants at the 255th selection. This year, âMr. Irrelevantâ is Georgia LB Tae Crowder.

Tae Crowder is âMr. Irrelevantâ as the last pick in the draft. Taken by the Giants with the 255th pick. Georgiaâs last Mr Irrelevant? Donald Chumley in 1985.
