Mack is still an elite pass rusher and he is just as good on run defense, with a top 5 run defense grade on PFF. He also had an overall PFF grade of 90.4, which was among the top 5 in all edge rushers. While Mack is near the end of his career, he is still a massive upgrade to the Bears defense. Having the 9 time Pro Bowler pass rusher back in a Bears uniform would be awesome to see.
Better be ready when @FiftyDeuce comes off the line. 😤
