The New England Patriots selected Kobee Minor as the final pick, dubbed 'Mr. Irrelevant.' During the pre-draft process, he was notably the only player the Patriots hosted. Minor embraces the nickname, wanting to emulate successful players like Brock Purdy, the last pick in 2022 who became a franchise quarterback. At 5'11" and 182 pounds, he brings versatile defensive skills from being a safety to cornerback. He expresses readiness to learn from veterans in the Patriots' defensive backfield and is adaptable to various positions as needed.
Minor hopes to have similar success, and he'll have plenty to learn from New England's defensive back room that includes Christian Gonzalez and Carlton Davis.
The Mr. Irrelevant moniker has taken on a life of its own over the years and become a bit of a show signifying the official end of the draft.
