[QUOTE="Techster, post: 829387, member: 360"] You must have missed 2019 when he led the NCAA in broken tackles, had one of the best YAC ypc in college football, and was on of the highest graded RBs in the nation: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.profootballnetwork.com/georgia-tech-running-back-jordan-mason-is-criminally-underrated/[/URL] [I]Mason’s got some impressive stats behind him that exemplify his ability to create for himself.
