Bachelorette parties on Broadway can resume. The 2019 NFL Draft in Nashville has officially come to a close.
Most of the Draft fanfare centers around the first-round picks, but the final pick also gets some tongue-in-cheek love, being officially dubbed Mr. Irrelevant. This year’s Mr. Irrelevant is UCLA TE Caleb Wilson, the only UCLA selection in this year’s draft.
SEC fans may remember that former Ole Miss QB Chad Kelly was Mr. Irrelevant two years ago. He looked to be on track for a rather relevant pro career until an off-the-field incident led to his dismissal from the Denver Broncos.
Before that, former South Carolina K Ryan Succop was also a Mr. Irrelevant. He’s one of the more successful final picks in NFL Draft history, as he holds the record for highest field-goal percentage in a season and most consecutive field goals made from inside 50 yards. Succop helped announce the pick Saturday.
