Iowa State’s Brock Purdy is This Year’s ‘Mr. Irrelevant’

 (Undated) Iowa State quarterback Brock Purdy has clinched the dubious honor of being “Mister Irrelevant,” a title reserved for the final player taken each year in the N-F-L draft. Purdy was the 262nd player drafted this year, taken by the San Francisco 49’ers. W-H-O/T-V reports that Purdy, as Mister Irrelevant, will be invited to a banquet and roast in Orange County, California, and presented with a bronze statue depicting a football bouncing off the knee of a player. Purdy says “he’s so blessed” to be the 262nd player drafted out of “hundreds of thousands” trying to get into the N-F-L.
