Former Tennessee Titans wide receiver Derrick Mason is a bit of a polarizing figure within the fanbase.
There’s no denying that the Michigan State product is statistically the greatest wide receiver to ever wear the Two-tone blue.
However, as great as Mason was, his departure was one of the toughest things to stomach as a fan considering he joined what was undoubtedly the Titans’ biggest rival at that time, the Baltimore Ravens.
To add more salt to the wound, Mason then turned around and caught the sole touchdown in the 2008 playoff matchup, which ultimately played a large role in ending what could have been a dream season for the Titans.
As with everything else, time helps to heal all wounds, therefore, many have chosen to put the pettiness aside and appreciate what Mason accomplished throughout his eight seasons in Tennessee.
For those fans, they’ll now have the opportunity to cheer for Mason in something completely different than what they’re used to.
The former All-Pro wideout is set to compete in a cornhole competition on Friday night at the Hall of Fame village in Canton, Ohio, with fellow NFL legends such as Terrell Owens, Chad Johnson, and Andre Reed also taking part. It will be broadcast on ESPN2 at 8 p.m. ET.

I’m not much of a cornhole player myself, so I can’t provide any analysis here, but let’s just hope Mason is as good at cornhole as he was at breaking young Shaun’s heart.
