Mason Graham has the tools to be a force of nature in the NFL for years to come. Both a two-gap and gap shooter, Graham lines up in just about any tech and plays it effectively. He was a wrestler in High School, a Trinity League Champion as a high school sophomore before turning his focus entirely on football. While his pass rush production could have been better (nine sacks over three years), he’s a force against both the run and pass. He projects very well to the NFL level.
