Mack Trucks has signed a familiar name to step up its latest marketing campaign: Oakland Raiders defensive end Khalil Mack.
Terms of the endorsement deal were not disclosed.
The genesis of the deal was actually the idea of Golden State Warriors power forward Draymond Green.
"He just texted me one day and said, 'You should do a deal with Mack,'" Khalil recalled.
Mack hadn't thought of it before, but the truck company wasn't foreign to him.
"Whenever we were on the road when I was younger, I remember my father pointing out the trucks that had Mack on them," Mack said.
