LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- After four straight seasons of double-digit sacks, former NFL Defensive Player of the Year Khalil Mack has set his sights on being the best pass-rushing outside linebacker of all-time.
"I want to be the best to play the game," Mack said after the Chicago Bears' OTA on Wednesday. "I mean, you got L.T. [Lawrence Taylor]. You got Derrick Thomas. You got special, special guys that have played this position, and that's all you can do, is kind of chase."
Drafted by the Oakland Raiders with the fifth overall pick in the 2014 NFL draft, Mack earned the reputation for being one of the league's most feared pass-rushers with 40.
