Mr. Irrelevant XXXIII Vobora signs with Rams

Mr. Irrelevant XXXIII is getting closer to being relevant in the NFL.

David Vobora, dubbed Mr. Irrelevant XXXIII for being the last player chosen in the NFL Draft, signed a three-year contract with the St. Louis Rams on Tuesday.

Vobora, a 6-foot-1, 241-pounder from the University of Idaho, has a solid shot to be a backup linebacker and also contribute on special teams as a rookie. The Rams are thin at linebacker, helping the 252nd pick’s cause to make the team out of training camp.

As a senior at Idaho, Vobora made 148 tackles to lead the Western Athletic Conference in that category. He ranked fourth nationally in tackles per game at 12.33.

Training camp for the Rams starts Friday, the first day Vobora becomes more relevant.
