The gradual shift of the NFL to a passing league has led defensive coordinators to covet linebackers with outstanding pass-rush ability. From attacking off the edge from a three-point stance to looping inside on stunts or blitzes from the second level, premier outside linebacker prospects specialize in wreaking havoc off the edges. Looking at Mack on coaches' tape, I was impressed with his ability to press the pocket off the edge. He routinely walked offensive tackles into the quarterback's lap using a bull-rush or forklift maneuver. Mack's lower-body strength and explosiveness consistently overwhelms blockers at the point of attack, leading to sacks on inside releases when the quarterback stepped up in the pocket. He abused Ohio State repeatedly with this maneuver (2 sacks); it has been his fastball when looking at the rest of his games on film. Against the Aztecs, Mack didn't get many opportunities to get after the passer in favorable situations. The Bulls couldn't get early-down stops, so Mack rarely had the opportunity to pin back his ears and come off the corner with reckless abandon. When he did have an opportunity to rush, he continued to show explosive power attacking blockers at the line. He flashed decent hand skills working off the initial block and gave the necessary effort to quicken the throw in the pocket.
