Khalil Mack bristled at the mention his Pro Bowl selection Friday, and perhaps it’s because he doesn’t see anything worth celebrating in a disappointing season.
Mack, who hates talking to the media and has closed his open-locker room session by saying so the last couple weeks, turned quieter than usual when asked about being voted in for the fifth consecutive year.
“Next question,” he said.
OK. But are you going to play in it?
When pressed on why he didn’t want to talk about it, he answered, “Talk about what? Oh man, next question.”
Mack made the team despite what is shaping up to be his worst statistical season since his rookie year.
