Thanks to San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, the title of Mr. Irrelevant has taken on more relevancy as the unheralded yet heralded final pick of the NFL Draft.

Purdy, the final pick in 2022, became a Super Bowl quarterback for the 49ers in just two seasons. This year’s Mr. Irrelevant, cornerback Kobee Minor, joins the team that has reached more Super Bowls than any franchise.
