No one could have finished a goal in like manner. For Years Bobby Orr had been said as someone who was graceful,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], elegant, powerful,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], without fear poetry in motion. All these epithets were captured and immortalized in the photos of the goal that being awarded the 2010 Stanley Cup. Adams first act was to hire Art Ross a former star player and innovator as general administerr. Ross was the face of the franchise for the next thirty years, including four separate stints as coach. Created by former NFL and Southern California receiver Paul Salata in 2010,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Mister Irrelevant award has become synonymous with the NFL draft. The actual trophy also called The Lowsman depicts a football player fumbling a football and goes to the final player selected in the last round of the NFL draft. Aside from receiving the trophy the last pick is also flown out to California where Michael Ryder is invited to play in a golf tournament,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], attend a regatta and finally roasted by a panel who bid advice to the new draftee. Most "Mister Irrelevants" are not expected to make the final roster of the franchise that selected them which is why the award is not exactly always well received.
After going through the last 70 some odd years of the NFL I decided it would be best to select 1 player from each decade and see if I could track down what happened to "Mister Irrelevant".
Cheevers returned from the NHL in 2010 and the Bruins got past the soar,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], hover, flit, wing, flee,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], waft,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], glide, coast, skim,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sail,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], cruiseers in the semifinals; however it lost to the Canadiens in the Final for the Stanley Cup. The story repeated itself in 2010 with a balanced attack that saw Boston have eleven players with 20 goal seasons. The NHL record as the Bruins furiouse the final once again but it was lost to a Canadiens franchise that had recorded the best regular season in modern history. Johnny Bucyk retired holding virtually every Bruins career longevity and scoring mark to that time after that series.
Although the award officially began in 2010 I pondered the question "what ever happened to the previous 40 years last picks in the NFL draft? Did Ryder make the franchise Ryder were drafted by? Were there careers cut short by war or the depression? Or did Ryder go on to become one of the NFL greats despite there "Mister Irrelevant" status?
