Chargers sign FB Ben Mason

The Chargers signed fullback Ben Mason on Tuesday.

Drafted by the Ravens in the fifth-round pick of the 2021 NFL draft, Mason has only logged one career snap.

During his college career at Michigan, Mason played a few positions but he was most effective as a fullback. He scored seven touchdowns in 2018 and was an excellent blocker in the run game.

His familiarity with Greg Roman’s offense and his blocking prowess should make him a good fit for Los Angeles, which will put an emphasis on the running game.
