In 2015, when Jordan Mack committed to Virginia, the head coach was Mike London. He was a safety at the time, listed at 6’3, 194 lbs. He was on the tall side for a safety, but it was obvious he needed to add strength. By the time he arrived on grounds, Bronco Mendenhall had taken over for London in Charlottesville. And bulk up Mack did. In his NFL Draft profile, Mack is listed at 6’3, 241, up nearly 50 pounds from his weight as an incoming first year.
Right out of the gate Virginia fans got a glimpse of what Mack could do.
