Khalil Mack, Los Angeles Chargers, Agree to Contract
Last year was the first time Khalil Mack didn’t make the Pro Bowl since 2021, but that doesn’t mean he had a bad season. While injuries limited him to just 12 games, he still recorded 5.5 sacks, 32 tackles, six tackles-for-loss, 11 quarterback hits, four forced fumbles, and a 79.2 PFF grade, the 16th-best mark out of 119 eligible players. The Chargers made it to the playoffs but lost to the New England Patriots in the Wild Card round.
Khalil Mack originally entered the league as a first-round pick in the 2014 NFL Draft. Selected by the Oakland Raiders, the Buffalo product wasted no time in establishing himself as one of the game’s premier pass rushers. After a four-sack rookie season that earned him third place in Defensive Rookie of the Year voting, Mack exploded in 2015. Starting and appearing in 16 games, the pass rusher finished his second season with 15 sacks, 77 tackles, 23 tackles-for-loss, 24 quarterback hits, and a 91.8 PFF grade, the second-best mark in the league. This impressive campaign earned him Pro Bowl and First-Team All-Pro honors, and it was the start of things to come.
Mack spent four seasons with the Raiders before the team traded him to the Chicago Bears. This brought out the best in the future Hall of Famer, as he recorded 12.5 sacks, 47 tackles, 10 tackles-for-loss, and 18 quarterback hits as the team made it to the NFC Divisional Round.
Since signing his rookie contract, Khalil Mack has appeared in 179 games while making 177 starts. While on the field, Mack has recorded 113 sacks, 662 tackles, 148 tackles-for-loss, and 196 quarterback hits while making nine Pro Bowls and earning First-Team All-Pro honors three times.
