Bears coaches: Khalil Mack has ‘something to prove’

Bears coaches know that Khalil Mack has been working out. They’ve seen him.

Their star outside linebacker attended offseason video meetings from the weight room in his basement.

“He’s training like I have never seen anybody train before,” outside linebackers coach Ted Monachino said in a video chat Thursday.

Mack vowed when the season ended to use his down year as fuel, and his coaches have noticed.

“Motivation is not an issue with Khalil; never has been,” Monachino said. “But what I’ll tell you is that he has approached this offseason with something to prove — and that’s something that I think we all can be encouraged by.
