Chad Kelly and the Lowsman
By Kelly Smith
With the 253rd pick of the 2017 draft, The Denver Broncos selected…Chad Kelly. In addition to the normal fanfare that the NFL network affords each draft choice, there was a short presentation for the 253rd pick by Irrelevant Week.
Irrelevant Week is a charitable organization that provides festivities associated with the last person chosen in the NFL draft. The “winner” of the honor is invited to a week of fun in Southern California, branded Mr. Irrelevant, and presented with the Lowsman Trophy.
The Lowsman Trophy looks a little like a skinny version of The Heisman Trophy, except that the depicted football player is fumbling their football.
Fun? Maybe.
Humbling? Certainly.
