Mr. Irrelevant (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. "Mr. Irrelevant" is the title bestowed each year upon the last pick of the annual National Football League draft. The name arose in 1976, when former Southern California and NFL receiver Paul Salata founded "Irrelevant Week" in Newport Beach, California. He announced the final pick of the NFL draft. During the summer after the draft, the new Mr. Irrelevant and his family are invited to spend a week in Newport, California, where they enjoy a golf tournament, a regatta, a roast giving advice to the new draftee, and a ceremony awarding him the Lowsman Trophy. The trophy mimics the Heisman, but depicts a player fumbling a football.
