Chicago Bears: Underrated names to watch on defense
By Usayd Koshul
4. OLB Ledarius Mack
The brother of Bears pass rusher Khalil Mack, Ledarius Mack was signed by the Bears after the conclusion of the 2020 NFL Draft. But let’s get one thing straight: Just because he’s Khalil Mack‘s younger brother, there’s no way that he’s guaranteed a roster spot. Like everyone else, he’s going to need to fight for a chance at making the team.
One of the things that will make Mack such an attractive candidate is his high motor. Throughout his time at the University of Buffalo, Mack showcased the potential to continue to get after ball carriers, something that will come in handy when he’s getting ready to make a name for himself with the Bears.
Overall, while the younger Mack may have to live in his brother’s spotlight, if he makes the roster in 2020 and does so as a special teams contributor, it will still be a solid addition for the Bears who would continue to develop him with the hope that he can be regular part of the Bears defense beginning in 2021.
