1980: Tyrone McGriff

1980: Tyrone McGriff, outside linebacker from Florida A&M, was selected #333 by Pittsburgh Steelers. He was the only final pick to decide not to attend Irrelevant Week. He played three years in Pittsburgh and came to Irrelevant Week in 1981 as Phil Nelson’s bodyguard. McGriff remained a friend of Irrelevant Week through the years and returned to Irrelevant Week’s 25th anniversary celebration. A few months later, McGriff passed away after suffering a heart attack.
