Irrelevant Week honored him with its own trophy.
The Lowsman Trophy is Irrelevant Week’s answer to the coveted Heisman Trophy. The two are complete opposites.
The Heisman is in stiff-arm mode.
The Lowsman has fumblitis.
The Lowsman fits Succop because any kicker trying to run with the ball is prone to coughing it up. The Kansas City Chiefs aren’t counting on the last player selected in the NFL Draft to turn into the next Priest Holmes or Larry Johnson.
The Chiefs plan to let the real football players score the touchdowns. Succop wants to kick the extra points and field goals.
The way the Chiefs offense has struggled, expect many field goal attempts in the upcoming season. Last year, they averaged 18.2 points per game, 26th best out of 32 teams.
The 256th pick has a legit shot to make it in Kansas City. Marshall Faulk offered Succop some advice during his in-studio appearance at the NFL Network in Los Angeles Wednesday.
“Keep your mouth shut,” Faulk said on-air during the show “Total Access.”
Someone reminded Succop of the line coming from one of the greatest versatile running backs in NFL history. Succop laughed it off Thursday at the final bash celebrating the 22-year-old.
The name of the event was “Suck It Up With Succop” at an Irish pub in Newport Beach. The more people drank, the more they yelled, “Suck-up!”
“Suck-up” is the correct way to pronounce Succop. The headline writers in Kansas City are going to have fun whenever Succop misses a crucial field goal.
Fans following the Mr. Irrelevant festivities already felt sorry for Succop.
