Would've been nice to see him go up against top talent at the senior bowl. The tackle for loss record is nice, but look at the competition he did it against

The reason the TFL record is worth noting because it highlights his read and recognition skills. His game resembles Mathieu's in that he seems to be the first player to "fire his gun" when he is on the field. He prepares, has good instincts and reacts very quickly which enables him to make plays in the backfield while others players are still trying to react.

His reaction speed (trust in his instincts), downhill style of play and power are honestly what I like most about Mack's game. The rest is teachable and can be developed. That is why I think he will be DROY in 2014. He is going to make more plays than most other candidates.

Speaking of instincts, can you imagine a defense with Keuchly, Sherman and Mathieu on it? The best players in the league that I can think of in terms of reacting to plays.

I chose other for Derek Carr. I think he doesn't have the big play ability shown by Manziel, Bridgewater and Bortles. I think there is a pretty big drop off in talent from the big three to Derek Carr.

I don't like the term overrated so for my the most overhyped is Johnny Football. When I watch him play all I see is Doug Flutie.

I think he will find out real quick he is facing another level every week.The way he coasted in 2013 won`t work in the NFL.I see a Simeon Rice attitude with worse results.My opinion that he will be barely average and nothing more.

Rice might have had some character problems but his play on the field was always wicked, so I do not comprehend the 'worse results' you speak of :)

Rice`s play pass rushing was always wicked I agree.His play versus the run was not so good.
