Massaquoi is one of the greatest receivers in Georgia history. From Charlotte, North Carolina, he came to UGA in 2005. By the time he left in 2008, he had 158 catches for 2,282 yards and 16 touchdowns, which ranks seventh best in school history.

Massaquoi’s 58 receptions and 920 yards in 2008 is good enough to rank him No. 4 in most receptions in a season and No. 5 in most receiving yards in a season in UGA history.

Bulldog fans may remember Massaquoi most for catching the game winning touchdown versus Georgia Tech in 2006, which, following the successful 2-point conversion, secured the upset over the then No. 16 ranked Yellow Jackets.

Picked in the second round of the 2009 NFL Draft, Massaquoi played four seasons with Browns. He left Cleveland after the 2012 season, and in August of 2013, he was released by two teams – the Jaguars and the Jets.

He finished his NFL career with 118 receptions for 1,745 yards and seven touchdowns.
