Tyrone McGriff (1980)

Tyrone McGriff, Mr. Irrelevant of the 1980 NFL Draft, wasn’t just a feel-good story—he was a human battering ram with a helmet. Drafted last and slotted in at offensive guard, McGriff didn’t just make the roster—he started as a rookie for the Steelers and played like every snap was a grudge match.

His playing style? Somewhere between organized chaos and controlled demolition. Try explaining it to someone without using sound effects—good luck.

Fans didn’t just watch McGriff, they experienced him. And while his NFL career was short, he left a wake of highlight clips, bruised defenders, and a legacy that still makes draft geeks nod with respect.

Is he the best Mr. Irrelevant of all time? Maybe. But throw his name into the mix, and the whole debate suddenly gets a lot louder.
