Shaq Mason is New England’s most valuable offensive lineman

New England Patriots RG Shaq Mason has a tough job. As a right guard, he’s expected to be a force in the run game, as well as hold up against interior pass rushers that get more athletic every year. Pats Pulpit’s leader Rich Hill detailed how the right guard position is undervalued back in 2014, and it remains true today.

The 24-year-old guard out of Georgia Tech has started 33 of the 38 games in his two-and-a-half regular seasons so far. Historically, being an offensive lineman drafted out of Georgia Tech means one thing: you sure as hell know how to run block.
