As part of our 99.1 The Sports Animal 2020 NFL Draft coverage, presented by UT Athletics, we are doing some Zoom Video and Audio interviews. We’re working hard to get you ready for pretty much the only thing going on in sports that happens to be immensely popular anyways, the NFL Draft.

I visited with former NFL wide receiver Derrick Mason to break down this year’s group of wide receivers. Mason spent time with the Tennessee Titans/Oilers, Baltimore Ravens, New York Jets and Houston Texans. In his 15 year NFL career from 1997 to 2011, Mason compiled 943 catches, 12,061 yards and 66 touchdown receptions.
Here are some players we discussed in the conversation and where they are ranked among wide receivers in draft analyst Mike Detillier’s Draft Guide.
