does anyone else feel bad for that guy every year? Not only is he the last guy drafted, but he has to accept a gift as mr irrelevant. "Hey, you probably won't make a roster so here's a paid vacation on us. Come up on stage and take this trophy for being passed on 244 times " lol.

Not really, still gets an entry level contract and free shit just for being the last guy picked in a draft.
Shit, I wish I was given handmeouts and thousands or millions of dollars simply for being the worst at something. I'd be set for life.

Guess I didn't think of it like that. But it kinda seems like they're teasing him. Can't we come up with a better name than mr irrelevant? Lmao

Arizona Cardinals close the 2015 draft by picking "Mr. Irrelevant"
By Frank Schwab/Shutdown Corner
It's probably better to be the last pick of the NFL draft rather than the second-to-last pick. At least the last pick gets a party in his honor in California.
"Mr. Irrelevant" is a longstanding NFL draft tradition, a dubious honor for the final pick of the NFL draft. The Arizona Cardinals had pick No. 256 in the seventh round, the last pick this year. They took Gerald Christian, a tight end from Louisville.
It's not too bad. The last pick of the draft is the guest of honor at"Irrelevant Week" in July at Newport Beach, Calif. He's also more memorable than pick No. 255.
Ryan Succop, the kicker for the Tennessee Titans, might be the most accomplished Mr. Irrelevant. Others have stuck in the NFL for a while. Christian might have a chance to make Arizona's roster too.
Christian is a 6-3, 244-pound tight end who ran the 40-yard dash in 4.87 seconds at the combine. He started his career at Florida before transferring to Louisville, where he developed into a solid player for the Cardinals. He had 32 catches for 384 yards and five touchdowns last season. He was third-team all-ACC.
The Cardinals do need some help at tight end as well. And if Christian doesn't make it, well, at least he'll have a party in his honor.
