Yep, there sure is a reason. Has to do with 2 things people forget:
1) Other RB's already on the team ahead of him.
2) Other RB's that have been on the team and already know the playcalls.
Basically he was not going to play anywhere until he knew the playcalls and the offense. but we can skip over that and make it easy to just call him a camp scrub.
Also why are people so down on Mason when he's only one step behind Rock technically. Rock was a 7th round draft pick and he still has not measured up to being a RB yet. How about we hear some complaining about that camp scrub who can only make it on ST's cause he's not a good enough RB?
and....for the record, Portis and Betts were both 2nd round picks. Portis 51st and Betts 56th.
