Even if Luck has great success and Harnish only lasts a few seasons and fades into layman-hood, it was REAL jackass move by MDS to label him ”Mr. Irrelevant.”

———————————-

“Irrelevant Week” arose in 1976, when former Southern California and NFL receiver Paul Salata founded the week in Newport Beach, California. He continues to announce the final pick of the NFL draft to this day. During the summer after the draft, the new Mr. Irrelevant and his family are invited to spend a week in Newport Beach, 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. -Wiki

I wish Chandler all the best at the Colts. I hate the term Mr Irrelevant with a passion. How many of us we were in the same position as him??

Painter did yield us Andrew Luck, so he did do something right, now he’s a Raven, ravens fan better hope Flacco has no injuries, or u guys will be in the running for Barf For Barkley next year!!!

Well they had to replace Painter in the depth chart.

I mean ALL of these kids work their tails off to make it to this point, and that’s someone’s son your talking about there Mike.

Have some respect, atleast for this one night so the kid and his family can enjoy their achievement.

to the “which Mr irrelevant has been more than a footnote” question… the only one I know of in the last couple years that has had a real impact was succop from scarolina… a kicker. there may be others but succop is a great kicker and had an immediate impact. obviously not a skill position player or QB like this year but he puts points on the board

actually i’d say drew stanton is andrew luck’s future backup

You’d think that after all the Ryan Leafesque 1st round QB busts that have come and gone, and after the success of a certain 199th overall pick, the media would be more hesitant to declare later picks “irrelevant”…..

I would be interested to read a WEHT piece on past Mr Irrelevants. Did any of them ever turn into anything beyond being a footnote?

Bears knock out Luck in Week 1, Harnish steps in and becomes the QB for the next decade. Hey, it could happen. Good luck in Indy Chandler. Will miss you in DeKalb.

Drew Stanton wants to be traded now

The most interesting part is that he was drafted higher than Curtis Painter would be today.

Ok so now that Mr. Irrelevant has been established…is he gonna throw a shot into that Breanne chick who was offering herself up to the last pick in the draft?

Harnish wasn’t available for comment. He was busy collecting his prize from the YouTube girl.

“…because what the draft really reminds us is that in the NFL, there is no offseason.”

I feel like this is PFTs way of saying “Please don’t forget us guys!”
