1995: Mike Reed, a defensive back from Boston University, was the #249 by Carolina Panthers. Reed was reluctant to make the trip to Irrelevant Week until then-Panther teammate Matt Elliott (Mr. Irrelevant 1992) told him what it was like to live and party for a week in Newport Beach. Reed made the Panthers roster and played in the first game, but an injury ended his season. He played three seasons for Carolina and registered two tackles. Reed is currently an assistant coach for defensive backs at Clemson University.
