Loved this pick from the start, love it more now! His leg on kickoffs is going to be a real asset.

While field goals are obviously important, his distance on kickoffs can't be overlooked.

You my friend are the biggest homer I have seen a long time

Usually I'm not, but have a feeling on this player.

Rayner was better on kickoffs during the preseason by the numbers.

On distance you are correct, but Mason had a big edge in hang time.

Crosby: 4.08
Rayner: 4.05

In terms of distance, Crosby averaged 71.0 yard per kickoff to Rayner's 72.9.

They both have strong legs and I'm glad they kept Crosby because he's more accurate.

I must have seen the stats for the first two games. When I looked at it I remembered it being about .15 difference. Thanks.

This guy is a POS! Couldn't get a box of gulf balls for him.

Thanks for coming over here, and making this win just a bit more sweet.

We got a good one. Accurate and has one of the stronger legs in the NFL. He was predicted by some at one time to go 2nd round, slipped a lot on some bad workouts and that his distance was due to Colorado. Their loss and our gain. This kid looks to have distance out to 60 yards. With a top level defense and bad offense he will be a valuable weapon.

Mason Crosby is going to be a Pro Bowl kicker. I see no reason why he won't be. He has all the tools.

Whos the Homer? In our survival league he pick the Eagles. How can you be a Brewer fan, but not a Packer fan?

He's young, so he's probably one of those fans I cannot stand that thinks a player is cool so he roots for that team, instead of sticking to his roots.

Good call DT.

This guy will make the Pro Bowl...or at least be one of the top fantasy football kickers with how many FG's we will be taking this season.

Yup, I was thinking the same thing. Get used to games like this.

Great link on Mason here. I think DT might be prophetic on this one.

"Sitting in the stands you probably wouldn't see a lot of wind," Ryan said of the final kick. "But on the field it was swirling around a bit and going the opposite direction of the flags. It doesn't really matter. Mason can hit from about 70."

Mason can hit it from about 70. :rofl:

Hell of a hold by Ryan. That dude deserves a headache inducing slap on the helmet for that one.

TT deserves great acknowledgement for that pick. Raynor was good enough that alot GMs would have passed. Great pick!!!
