One of the less notable storylines of the NFL Draft is which player becomes the newest “Mr. Irrelevant.” This year's edition came in the form of Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn.

It is not often the last pick of the draft makes an immediate impact on the team. However, Quinn has already caught the attention of head coach Jay Grudenvia the team's official website:

“Trey has come in here, and I haven’t heard him talk a whole lot. He’s very quiet,” Gruden said at a press conference last week. “He’s a quiet assassin and he just goes out there and is very detailed in his routes. Ike [Hilliard] has done a great job with him, and Trey, when the ball’s in the area, he’s got strong hands. Very quarterback-friendly target. He can run the option routes. He’s learning from Jamison [Crowder], which is good, but he can also line up in different spots, so Trey is a guy that we’re going to rely on to be able to play multiple spots, be tough enough in the running game to block safeties from time to time. He’ll do whatever is asked of him, I know that, and maybe even return some punts. We’ll see, but I’ve been very impressed with Trey.”

Quinn endured quite the eventful college career before being selected with the 256th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. He started off at LSU and played a modest role in the receiving corps in his first two seasons. As a result, he transferred to SMU and was forced to sit out the 2016 season due to NCAA rules.

Fortunately, he made the most of his lone season after hauling in 114 catches for 1,236 yards and 13 touchdowns.

Quinn now joins a receiving corps that is starved for more playmakers to surround new quarterback Alex Smith with. This group is currently headed by wide receivers Jamison Crowder, Paul Richardson and Josh Doctson.

Given Gruden's affinity for spreading the wealth, Quinn could be competing for a potential role in the passing game this season.
