Khalil Mack won’t talk about returning to the area he played college ball for the first time in an NFL uniform, but those still at the University at Buffalo from Mack’s era have plenty to say about the best player in program history.
There’s Najja Johnson, who was in Mack’s recruiting class and started on the same Bulls’ defense. He’s a graduate assistant for UB now. He remembers trips to famed wing spot Elmo’s after games, excessive video game ventures and endless pick-up basketball games at UB’s Alumni Arena.
There’s Jon Fuller, Mack’s PR man still in the same spot on staff, who follows the Raiders closely and recalls Mack often asking about his family.
