Salata announces the final pick of the NFL draft each year, and during the summer after the draft, the new Mr. Irrelevant and his family are invited to spend a week in Newport. While in Newport, Mr Irrelevant gets to enjoy a golf tournament, a regatta, a roast giving advice to the new draftee, and a ceremony awarding him the Lowsman Trophy, which is a trophy that mimics the Heisman, but the player on the trophy is fumbling a football.
This year, that pick went to the Houston Texans, and with it they chose Cheta Ozougwu, a defensive lineman from Rice.
Ozougwu is 6'2'', 247 pounds, and did 26 reps on the bench at the combine. He also ran a 4.89 forty yard dash and had a 34.5 inch vertical jump.
Last years Mr. Irrelevant, Tim Toone of the Detroit Lions, was placed on the practice squad's injured reserve due to an undisclosed injury on October 7. He was re-signed to a future contract on January 5 of this year.
