So there was extra attention around this year’s “Mr Irrelevant” – Desjuan Johnson, a defensive lineman out of the University of Toledo drafted by the Los Angeles Rams as the 259th and final pick.
“Just be getting picked, final pick, first pick, middle pick, everything [is] unique,” Johnson said, according to ESPN.
“My dad was on my mind today,” said Johnson, who was just four years old when his father died, according to his university website.
“Just to learn from him, from watching film and now get to sit next to him and just take notes, I’m going to just be like a newborn,” he said.
“I feel like I’m going to be like a newborn, trying to take as much in [and trying] to learn under him.”
