BEYOND THE BOX SCORE: OK to call Robinson Señor Irrelevant

Share via

Since Sunday will be the first time Mr. Irrelevant XXXII sets foot in California, Ramzee Robinson said you can call him “Señor Irrelevant.”

But don’t call the NFL’s last draft pick “Ron Mexico” because that’s Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick’s alleged alias.

“Señor” is the most Spanish the former University Alabama defensive back now Detroit Lions rookie said he knew until he heard of “Santa Ana,” where he’ll land Sunday afternoon.

Once he gets off the plane from Detroit, the Huntsville, Ala. native said he’s looking forward to the VIP treatment he’ll receive when he leaves John Wayne Airport.

“I’m hearing there are some nice gifts,” said Robinson, still not sure which major sponsors will shower him with more than 200 presents. “I can’t wait to meet everyone.”

If Robinson hangs out in Santa Ana before venturing to Newport Beach, where most of the festivities will be held, he can rest assured someone will greet him with a “¡Hola señor!”

Then Robinson will know he’s in California and he’s made it.
