Memphis cornerback Kobee Minor got the тιтle of “Mr. Irrelevant” on Saturday when he was selected by the New England Patriots with the final pick of the NFL draft.
Minor, who also played for Texas Tech and Indiana in year’s past, was chosen 257th overall to complete the three-day, seven-round draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
The Patriots sent the 228th overall pick in the fifth round to the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for the 251st and 257th picks.
Minor spent his first three college seasons at Texas Tech, followed by a year at Indiana and a final season with Memphis.
He had no interceptions in 2024 but had 12 tackles for loss.
What he lacks in statistical production, he makes up in speed.
Minor ran the 40-yard dash in 4.56 seconds.
New England last had the final pick of the draft in 2005, when it selected тιԍнт end Andy Stokes.
He never played a down in the NFL.
