Larry Wanke (/ˈwɒŋki/ WONG-kee[1]) (born April 2, 1968) is a former American football quarterback and in the 1991 NFL Draft, was Mr. Irrelevant.
Wanke attended Benedictine High School in Cleveland, Ohio.[2]
Wanke initially attended the University of Pittsburgh, but ultimately transferred to John Carroll University.[2] The transfer was due to a quarterback competition at Pittsburgh and health problems of his father.[3][2]
Wanke was drafted by the New York Giants in the 1991 NFL Draft, which earned him the title of Mr. Irrelevant.[4] Wanke, however, never made an NFL roster.[5]
