Last season, Khalil Mack's position was complicated enough that Pro Football Focus had him listed as a 3-4 outside linebacker much of the season despite the fact that the Raiders ran a base 4-3. Late in the season they switched him to 4-3 outside linebacker. His 2015 position may be even more complicated. Then again, perhaps not.
This offseason the Mack has put in some weight which led some to believe a position switch to defensive end was in the plans. According to Mack, however, his role will not change this season.
"I'm always used the same," said Mack, who also mentioned he will rush the passer as well as drop back into coverage.
