LAKE FOREST — Upon meeting new Chicago Bears OLB Khalil Mack, his mom, Yolanda, and dad, Sandy, at Halas Hall Sunday, it struck me that these might just be the three happiest people in the world.
My second thought was there were two more people in the room who appeared to be a very close second — Ryan Pace and Matt Nagy.
While it remained unspoken during the 30 minute news conference with Pace and Nagy that followed, it was hard to ignore the glow in their eyes and an aura about them that suggested that now the Bears' general manager and head coach believe they’re ready to compete.
