Masses has taken a lot of snaps but his FBS-leading ball production came out of nowhere. He plays with a ball-hawking mentality, keeping his eyes forward. He’s able to mirror and match releases while disrupting route timing with well-placed jabs from press. He has an innate feel for challenging throws at optimal angles and plays ball over man most of the time. He’s fairly effective at anticipating route breaks but frequently mauls and invites penalties when the route doesn’t go as expected. Masses lacked explosiveness in his NFL Scouting Combine workout, which will need to be balanced against the competitiveness he showed on tape.
