2021 - Prove It
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.
