After Jordan-Matthews, UNC, and NFL careers, Siler City’s Eddie Mason gives back through training

Posted Aug 5, 2020
Get knocked down. Get back up. Eddie Mason found that to be a common theme as his football career progressed from Jordan-Matthews to the University of North Carolina to the NFL, where he played five years and 80 games as a linebacker, primarily on special teams. He wouldn’t change his path, though, because it brought him to where he is today. (Chatham News & Record)
