Khalil Mack long ago told his new position coach that he wants to be the best outside linebacker of all-time.
The question is: who’s he gotta beat out?
“You’ve got LT, you got Derrick Thomas,” Mack said Wednesday, referencing former Giants great Lawrence Taylor and the late Chiefs star. “You got special, special guys that have played this position. And that’s all you can do, is kind of chase. You can’t really compare those guys. The best of the best.”
He believes he can get on that list. He has to.
“I hold myself to that standard every day,” he said after the Bears’ organized team activity practice.
