Derrick Mason was one of the most elusive players of his era. So elusive, in fact, that he managed to elude superstardom.
Mason was an outstanding slot receiver at a time when the football world was just learning to appreciate them. He was an elite return man who missed his chance to be part of one of the most famous kick returns in NFL history. He played for teams that ran the ball a little too often and were stopped a yard or two short of making history. Yet he finished in the top five in receiving DVOA three times.
