The New England Patriots ended their draft with two late selections, notably picking cornerback Kobee Minor with the final pick, affectionately termed Mr. Irrelevant. Minor welcomes this title as a source of motivation, having never been a highly-recruited player. After a lackluster start at Texas Tech, he found success at Indiana and Memphis, establishing himself as a competitive player. With the Patriots showing the most interest in him prior to the draft, Minor expressed his excitement for the opportunity and readiness to prove himself in the NFL.
I love it, actually. It's just fuel to my fire. I'm going to just continue to work and I'm excited for this opportunity.
I love it because I've never been a highly-recruited guy. I've never been one of the top guys. So, really this isn't anything new to me.
It's just a blessing. I've been waiting all day. I didn't know if I was going to get the call or not.
After playing only 161 defensive snaps in three seasons as a Red Raider, he played 615 in his lone season with the Hoosiers.
