Ex-Tennessee Titans WR Derrick Mason inducted into Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame
While much of the focus for the Tennessee Titans is currently centered on the start of training camp on July 22, one of their former stars, Derrick Mason, was being honored in Nashville on Saturday night. The franchise leader in receptions and receiving yards joined Eric Berry, Jenny Connolly, and Tony White as 2025 inductees into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame. It's a tremendous honor for Mason, who rose from a fourth-round pick in the 1997 NFL draft out of Michigan State to stardom as a receiver and return specialist for the Titans. After a slow start to his career, he broke out in 2000 by being selected to the Pro Bowl and named All-Pro, having led the NFL in punt return yardage while also pulling in 63 receptions for 895 yards and five touchdowns. Mason finished his eight seasons with the Titans holding multiple team records and remains their leader in 22 different regular-season and playoff statistical categories. More than enough to etch his name into Tennessee sports history. After spending the first eight years of his 15-year career in Nashville, he moved on to the Baltimore Ravens for six seasons before finishing his career with a season split between the New York Jets and Houston Texans. In all, Mason recorded 943 receptions for 12,061 yards and 66 touchdowns with four teams in the NFL.
