Mason Graham: No quit, all grit

Mason Graham is TERRIFYING 😳
He effortlessly deconstructs blocks on film with raw power and has unreal quickness as an interior rusher.
63 pressures and 58 stops in the last two seasons while only missing 7% of tackles.

In 2024, Graham posted 45 tackles, 7 for a loss, and 3.5 sacks. He earned first-team All-American honors and was a finalist for both the Bednarik and Outland Trophies in 2024, following a highly productive collegiate career.
He earned top marks at the NFL Combine, with the highest production score among DTs and ranking first overall at the position. Analysts highlight his high ceiling and potential to grow into a dominant pro, similar to Dexter Lawrence, who developed into a top-tier NFL defensive tackle after a modest college sack total.
