David Vobora (2008)

David Vobora, Mr. Irrelevant of the 2008 NFL Draft, didn’t just make the roster—he made the starting lineup for the St. Louis Rams as a rookie linebacker. That’s not just rare; that’s borderline mythological in Mr. Irrelevant lore.

He went from the final pick to a defensive staple faster than most seventh-rounders unpack their lockers. One minute he’s draft-day filler, the next he’s stacking tackles and turning heads. His fanbase? A passionate mix of deep-cut draft nerds and underdog purists who argue he should be in the conversation for the greatest final pick ever.

Supporting Vobora is like rooting for the last slice of pizza—it’s unexpected, underrated, and weirdly satisfying every time.
