The New England Patriots sound positive about the prospects of Shaq Mason contributing on the offensive line. It is just a matter of if it will be this season or next season.
What seems to be the issue preventing the Patriots from coming right out and saying that Shaq Mason’s time is now is Mason’s ability to pick-up pass blocking schemes.
This was seen as an issue, though not a major issue, when Shaq left Georgia Tech because the Yellow Jackets are a run first, second, third, and fourth offense with the passing game coming into the fold every so often.
