HOUSTON - A few the Houston Texans in the Stadium near rice that they expected developments in the impasse of the work of the NFL.
Whenever training camp begins, one of the owls will be their regular domain.
Late defensive rice Cheta Ozougwu is irrelevant Mr. this year after the Texans took at 254 and last rank of the draft Saturday. The "relevant" moniker is traditionally given to the last pick.
"It's a great relief," said Ozougwu. "I am blessed to have this opportunity." What what would be the result, any free agency or being last or being a fifth round draft choice, I wanted the opportunity to play the game. ?
Mr. irrelevant last year was Weber State receiver Tim Toone, who went to Detroit.
Now, it is the turn of the Ozougwu to take advantage of the value of a week of festivities that accompany the honour. Since 1976, the player and his family were invited to Southern California at the shoulder to take the "irrelevant week", which includes a golf tournament, regatta and a ceremony where he receives a trophy representing a player get a bullet.
"I don't know too much about it," said Ozougwu. "It's funny, one of my teammates, about two weeks ago was like," Hey man, if you get drafted in the seventh round, as the last choice, you get called something like "Mr. irrelevant" or things of that nature and all these things they do. "".
"I had no idea it would be me," he said, but I am really grateful for it. ?
Some Mr. Irrelevants made very well in the pros.
Ryan Succop (2009) converted 25 29 field-goal attempts at Rookie in Kansas City and is no. 1 on the map of depth, and linebacker David Vobora (2008) began the season at five games last for St. Louis.
If the career of football pro is not of results, Ozougwu has a solid backup plan - it you graduate from prestigious rice in May with a degree in economics.
The 6-foot-2, 255-pound Ozougwu is the second player drafted by the Texans rice. He will join tight end James Casey on the list of Houston. Casey played sparingly in the back and a tight end recruit, then took a role more important in the offence in 2010, from four games.
Houston coach Gary Kubiak said Ozougwu will work at linebacker and has a chance to contribute next season.
"He can rush the passer, smart young man," Kubiak said. "He will play four different positions for us on defence and be a heck of a special teams player." It has a large football IQ and a high motor, and we believe that it will find a way to do in this League. "It's kind of Nice that he ends up being right in the street".
