What The Experts Thought Before The Draft

Pre-Draft Analysis for Tre Mason - 2014 NFL Draft

Player Profile:

  • Name: Tre Mason
  • Position: Running Back
  • College: Auburn University
  • Height: 5'10"
  • Weight: 207 lbs

Overview:

Tre Mason emerged as one of the top running backs in college football during his junior season at Auburn. Known for his explosive speed, agility, and vision, he played a crucial role in leading the Tigers to a national championship appearance in
2013. His performance in the season earned him significant attention from NFL scouts.

Strengths:

  • Excellent burst and acceleration, allowing him to hit the hole quickly.
  • Good vision and awareness to find running lanes.
  • Strong lower body, making him difficult to tackle in the open field.
  • Ability to contribute in the passing game, displaying solid hands and route-running skills.
  • Proven production in high-pressure situations, particularly during the 2013 season.

Weaknesses:

  • Size may raise concerns about durability in the NFL.
  • Limited experience in pass protection, which could be a learning curve at the next level.
  • May rely too heavily on athleticism rather than developing a complete running back skill set.

Overall Evaluation:

Tre Mason was projected to be a mid-round pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, with the potential to develop into a starting running back in the right system. His combination of speed, agility, and ability to make plays in the open field made him an attractive option for teams looking to bolster their backfield. If he could improve his pass protection and adapt to the NFL's physicality, he had the potential to become a significant contributor.
