Our Own Mr Irrelevant


TE Justice Cunningham of South Carolina will forever be known as "Mr Irrelevant" of the 2013 NFL draft. He shares that distinction with a special group of players who have the honor of being the last pick. He was selected by the Colts with the 254th overall pick and will be treated to a trip to Disneyland, a big party and a "roast" in Newport, California.

He may never make it through training camp, but there are several players who has good careers.
In 1994, Bill Parecells and the Pats selected LB Marty Moore from Kentucky as Mr Irrelevant. Moore played eight seasons for the Pats and the Cleveland Browns.

It's interesting to note that Moore left the Pats when Coach Belichick arrived in 2000. He played 16 games with the Browns and was reunited with the Pats for the 2001 Super Bowl season. He only played three games, ending up on IR.

He is the only Mr Irrelevant to play in the Super Bowl when he was with the Pats during their 1996 run and their eventual loss to Green Bay.
