Thinking the exact same thing, he came out of nowhere

This really does not help Auburn at all. With your basic one dementional offense this season, Auburn will have to go to the air more next season. Auburn must hold on to the rest of it's offensive starters. The defense was nothing special, but they do lose 5 starters on that side of the ball. Auburn will probably be a Top 10 team pre-season, but with games at Kansas State, Georgia, Mississippi, and Alabama, and home games against South Carolina and LSU, they most likely will not end up there after the season. The kid made the right choice.

Good move for his wallet. Maybe bad for career.

TwoWays · 01-09-14, 02:51 PM

he had no career until the latter part of last year going on through the bowl game. now he gets paid loot and will have a chance to make an nil career. dude is terrific.

Dr. Gambler · 01-09-14, 02:53 PM

Guy played as well as one could last three games. Fresh on all the minds of gm in NFL. Good move for him. rb class is not great. Combine will be big for him. He puts up good time could be a late first round pick

Noles1992 · 01-09-14, 02:54 PM

Yeah I think his stock flew up in the last few games as said above. Cannot Blame him at all

i dont disagree that auburns sched is tough...and they prob might not finish in the top 10 next year....but mason will be replaced and someone else will put up some numbers in masons place....they must have a 5 star rb coming in too

Should have stayed one more year and won a national title. The SEC is getting weaker next year, and Auburn would have been the least hurt by the NFL draft if Mason didn't decide to bail.

Ratpack · 01-09-14, 03:04 PM

doesnt really need the money his father is a famous rapper from the group de la soul so he should of stayed and polished his game.

The SEC loses 7 starting QB's. McCarren (Ala), Mettenberger (LSU), Manziel (A&M), Russell (Miss ST), Murray (UGA), Shaw (So. Car), and Franklin (MO). That is a huge hit for that conference. With a very high unlikelyhood that a two loss team will reach the final four, the SEC teams need to keep as many players as they can.

VegasInsider · 01-09-14, 03:11 PM

Great move. Came out of nowhere and will get paid A LOT of money. He's probably the 2nd best RB in the draft behind Carey. Probably a 2nd rounder

Matty Mauk is the one to look forward to next year at Mizzou

Will be another Steve Slaton.

Rio DiNero · 01-09-14, 04:28 PM

Ya, rappers are famous for their money management and retirement packages. I'm sure he is set.

maseo is from de la....de la are legends but they have never had any real commercial success....so its not like maseo has been swimming in money....but im sure hes done well enough...and de la is known for being hip hop purists and against showing off money or that whole "chains and fancy cars" shit......

Isn't he a little bigger than Steve Slaton?? I figured him and Pat White wouldn't do shit in the NFL, no size and playing in a total college system. I see Mason more like Arian Foster or Doug Martin. I doubt he'll be as successful as either of them but he should have a nice career on the right team. He is a Bill Bellichick type of running back. If NE didn't have so much depth there, they might think about him.

MoneyIsWater · 01-09-14, 04:38 PM

He will be a complete bust. He is 200 lbs LOL 205 wet.

Give me Carlos Hyde over them all.

youd think so right? i mean we all imagine slaton being like a tiny guy....i mean you almost think noel devine when you think of slaton....depends on whether or not you believe his listing.....but slaton is listed as an inch shorter than mason and about the same weight

PaperTrail07 · 01-09-14, 04:48 PM

Like he needs the $$

PaperTrail07 · 01-09-14, 04:49 PM

Well said

Sell High

Few NFL players become multi-millionaires. The vast majority loses it all a few years their career is over.

drunkenbeaver · 01-09-14, 04:58 PM

Smart move by him and Henry Josey. Running backs in the SEC take a huge beating, especially their senior years. If you can get out as a junior... do it!

Wow, I didn't know they had almost the same height/weight. One thing I like about Mason is he runs downhill and up the middle. He's taken some real good smacks against big SEC lineman and linebackers. Slaton need to get outside or at least to the edge. Should be interesting to see what happens.

PaperTrail07 · 01-09-14, 05:03 PM

The way Mason Twists Sideways and launches himself up the middle is pretty impressive....Does that in the NFL he might have a few teeth loose soon lol...

Guy is a beast. Good for him to get he max money while he is hot

itchypickle · 01-09-14, 05:54 PM

Glad he's gone

itchypickle · 01-09-14, 07:50 PM

Their best lineman, Robinson, also going to the draft....AU might be in a bit of trouble now.

MikeTizzy · 01-09-14, 09:56 PM

deems.. what do u know deems.. Tre is very nice prospect. DeAngelo like.

What does he have to gain by staying in school? Would his draft potential go up? Not likely.

PAULYPOKER · 01-09-14, 11:03 PM

Great decision since the average RB of today has a 5 year (1st string) lifespan........

The younger the RB the better......

Yup. Get to earning a year earlier. Definitely a hard runner who can produce at next level if given the chance.

EmpireMaker · 01-10-14, 12:52 AM

I think he is making the right move, his stock is very high and RB careers are getting shorter and shorter, this way he gets an extra year to earn NFL money.
