Mr. Irrelevant is coming to New York.
The Jets selected Alabama safety Jaylen Key with the final pick in this year’s NFL Draft, pick No. 257 overall.
Key spent five years at UAB before transferring to Alabama last season to play for Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide.
“It was pretty nerve-wracking, man, just going through watching, seeing a lot of the guys that I know get drafted and it coming down to the very last pick,” Key said.
Key said he will embrace the “Mr. Irrelevant” title and all that comes with it.
“It means everything,” Key said. “You’ve got to take it and lean into it. For me, I’m definitely going to lean into it, every bit of it. I’m the Mr. Irrelevant this year and we’re going to make something shake, for sure.”
