NFL draft: Mr. Irrelevant title has gained in relevance

PHILADELPHIA — Cam Quayle went on to be a dentist. Bill Kenney was elected a state senator in Missouri. Ryan Hoag appeared on the television reality show The Bachelorette. Marty Moore played in a Super Bowl.

Don't recognize the names? That's okay. Or better said, that's irrelevant, because the point is not who they are but what they were — Mr. Irrelevants.

The nickname goes to the last player chosen in the NFL draft (or in a few cases, to the second-to-last), long after the hoopla and endless chatter over the No. 1 pick. By then, most television viewers of the annual spectacle have changed channels.
