Why the popularity?

The first trailer for Mr. Irrelevant: The John Tuggle Story dropped on opening NFL Sunday, with David Corenswet as Tuggle.
The New York Giants took Tuggle dead last in the 1983 NFL draft, earning him the nickname "Mr. Irrelevant."
In the trailer, Tuggle interrupts coach Bill Parcells while he's talking to the media at training camp.
It's pitched as a feel-good underdog story, a bit like Brock Purdy, the last pick of his class who became a 49ers starter.
