1997 Topps Derrick Mason RC #362

The rookie card of one of the most reliable and underrated wide receivers of his era. Mason was drafted in the fourth round by the Tennessee Oilers (later Titans) and quietly built a career that would see him catch over 900 passes across 15 NFL seasons. A consummate professional who never got the recognition he deserved.
