Most Famous Mr. Irrelevant

That would obviously be Brock Purdy, who would go on to start as quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers and lead his team to lead his team to last year's Super Bowl, losing to the Kansas City Chiefs in overtime.

Most successful Mr. Irrelevant?

That honor goes to kicker Ryan Sucoop, Mr. Irrelevant in 2009, who as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs tied the NFL record for highest field goal percentage by a rookie in a season (86.2%).

Sucoop would later join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he became the first Mr. Irrelevant to play in and win a Super Bowl as a starter.
