You people amaze me. If he’s so bad, he sucks, he needs to come back, why the hell would you want him back. Maason WILL have a long prosperous NFL career if the injury bug doesn’t get him. FACTS

And now the award for "the worst post on Tiger Rant since I've been here" is...yours! And the downvotes confirm it! First, at best he was an average SEC DL which does not mean he is ready for the NFL. That is a FACT! Mike Detillier has him a 3rd day pick and that is optimistic. Second, the reason most LSU fans wanted him back was for selfish and unselfish reasons. Selfishly, LSU fans hoped he would return to TR FR form, not the mediocre state he was in this season. The unselfish reason is that right now he is a 3rd day selection at best. If he returned to LSU and eventually came back to TR FR form, he would be a 1st round pick. He should have come back to LSU to earn him some big money IF he was able to do that. Those are the FACTS!

He didn’t look any different athletically as a Freshman to me and I for one recall thinking and posting on this site that the kid did not look like the hype that was being posted about his play. He looked very developmental, not explosive.

He had two sacks against McNeese to make his freshman stats look good but otherwise looked exactly like he did this season. His elite quality is only in pushing and hand fighting with the OL that just mauled him during the play. That is his only elite quality.
