    Two year deal with the Patriots...$17,500 signing bonus. Knowing the Patriots, this kid will make the Pro Bowl this year. [​IMG]

    Here's an interesting article I found about "Mr. Irrelevant" over the years:

    Andy Stokes holds as the distinction of being Mr. Irrelevant XXX, the 255th and last pick by the New England Patriots in this year's NFL Draft.

    Stokes, a 6-foot-5, 245-pound tight end from William Penn University, will have an arrival party June 20 at 5 p.m. at Newport Dunes Resort.

    While many Mr. Irrelevant honorees were cut in training camp, some not only found a spot on their team's roster, but went on to enjoy success in the league.

    Bill Kenney, a quarterback from Northern Colorado University and a stand-in Mr. Irrelevant II as the second-to-last-pick by Miami in 1978, was cut by the Dolphins.

    But he made the Kansas City Chiefs roster in 1980.

    He led the league with 346 pass completions in 603 attempts and was second with 4,348 passing yards to earn a Pro Bowl spot in 1983.

    After a nine-year career that included 17,277 passing yards and 105 touchdowns, Kenney was elected to the Missouri senate in 1994 and again in 1998.

    Marty Moore, a linebacker from the University of Kentucky, picked 222nd by the Patriots in 1994, became the only Mr. Irrelevant to play in a Super Bowl when he suited up against Green Bay in Super Bowl XXXI.

    Jim Finn, the 253rd pick of the 1999 Draft by the Chicago Bears from the University of Pennsylvania, played three years with the Indianapolis Colts and has spent the past two seasons with the New York Giants.

    Michael Green has spent all five years with the Bears after being drafted No. 254 in 2000.

    He has amassed 353 tackles for Chicago, and trails only linebacker Brian Urlacher (515) and safety Mike Brown (278) with his 254 tackles the past three years.

    Green's 118 tackles in 2002 were listed as the most among all NFL defensive backs by press box statistics.</div>
