Kobee Minor and the Legacy of Mr. Irrelevant at Super Bowl LX
From the very last pick of the NFL Draft to the brightest lights in sports, Kobee Minor is officially headed to Super Bowl LX.
Now, 50 years after the first Mr. Irrelevant was chosen, Kobee Minor adds his name to a rare and meaningful chapter of that history as Mr. Irrelevant reaches the Super Bowl.
Only a small number of players drafted last have ever made it to football’s biggest stage. Kobee Minor now joins a select group of Mr. Irrelevants who have reached the Super Bowl before him. Marty Moore became the first Mr. Irrelevant to play in a Super Bowl during Super Bowl XXXI and later became the first to win one with New England in Super Bowl XXXVI. Ryan Succop made history in Super Bowl LV as the first Mr. Irrelevant to start and win a Super Bowl, playing a key role in Tampa Bay’s championship run. Most recently, Brock Purdy became the first Mr. Irrelevant quarterback to reach the Super Bowl in Super Bowl LVIII, carrying the underdog story all the way to football’s biggest stage. Each of these moments has reinforced what Mr. Irrelevant and Irrelevant Week have stood for all along. Being drafted last does not mean finishing last.
Kobee’s journey follows that same powerful path. Selected with the final pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, he embraced the Mr. Irrelevant title with gratitude and determination. Rather than seeing it as a label, he saw it as fuel. This season, that fuel carried him through a year of hard work, patience, and belief straight to Super Bowl week.The Super Bowl itself is more than a game. It is the ultimate proving ground where seasons, careers, and legacies collide. For any Mr. Irrelevant to be part of that stage is a reminder of everything the tradition represents. Every draft pick matters, and no dream is too small.For the Irrelevant Week family, Kobee Minor’s Super Bowl moment is more than a football milestone. It is a reflection of the mission in action. For fans, it is the ultimate underdog story. And for Kobee, it is proof that being picked last can still lead to the biggest moments the game has to offer.This year, Mr. Irrelevant makes the Super Bowl, a reminder to never underestimate the power of the underdog.
