The New England Patriots selected cornerback Kobee Minor as the final pick in the NFL Draft, embracing the title of 'Mr. Irrelevant'. Minor, who faced challenges as a three-star recruit and double transfer, expressed gratitude for the opportunity, noting it fuels his determination. The Patriots were impressed with Minor's skills and competitive nature during his college career at Texas Tech, Indiana, and Memphis. Eliot Wolf, the team's executive vice president of player personnel, highlighted Minor's overlooked talent, indicating the teamâs long-term interest in him despite his injury setbacks.
To me, I love it because I've never been a highly recruited guy, I've never been a top guy; it just adds fuel to my fire.
Kobee was a guy our scouts that went into Memphis this year got on early... he was a guy we had some affinity for.
