Mr. Irrelevant
If the NFL can have one, the Seahawks can, too!
On April 24, 2005, the Seattle Times declared that Doug Nienhuis was "the runner-up to Mr Irrelevant" after becoming the second-last overall draft pick in 2005.
At Becky's Place, no Seahawk has EVER been anywhere near close to irrelevant!
This web page is a celebration of the so called Mr. Irrelevants of the Seattle Seahawks ... the last guy to be picked by the Seahawks in each draft.
