Mr. Irrelevant Is Northern Illinois QB Chandler Harnish, Drafted By Indianapolis Colts With 253rd Pick

With the 253rd and final pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Indianapolis Colts selected this year's Mr. Irrelevant, Chandler Harnish, a quarterback from Northern Illinois. Harnish will be treated to a wonderful vacation package in California, courtesy of former NFL and USC wide receiver Paul Salata. From the event's official website:

Despite its innate humility, despite its unholier-than-thou theme and despite its delightfully miserable lower-than-low self-esteem, Irrelevant Week in Newport Beach, California, USA, has mushroomed into one of the sporting world’s most popular events - ranking right up there with Super Bowl Week, Final Four Week, Kentucky Derby Week and shooting sharks in a barrel.
Once Irrelevant Week hit age 20, it became rather obvious that it will never go away. It’s here to stay.

Irrelevant Week is a weeklong celebration of the Underdog, the final pick of the NFL draft held in Orange County. Events include a golf tournament, a regatta and a sports banquet, and are open to the public.
