The Tampa Bay Buccaneers concluded the 2021 NFL Draft by making Houston linebacker Grant Stuard this year's "Mr. Irrelevant."

The 259th overall pick was a First-Team All-American Athletic Conference selection last season, recording 61 tackles and five tackles for a loss during the 2020 campaign. Stuard also led the American Athletic Conference with 8.7 tackles per game.

The former Cougar isn't the only "Mr. Irrelevant" on Tampa Bay's roster - he joins kicker Ryan Succop, who earned the nickname after being the last pick of the 2009 NFL Draft.

Stuard rounds out a Buccaneers draft class featuring Joe Tryon, Kyle Trask, and Robert Hainsey, among others.
