It's no doubt that Chicago Bears linebacker Khalil Mack is one of the elite talents in the league, however he wants more than that. A Super Bowl no doubt, however he wants even more. Mack wants to be known as the greatest linebacker to ever play the game. New Bears outside linebackers coach Ted Monachino told the Chicago Tribune recently that Mack has vocalized to him personally the goal of being the best in history. "Oh, yeah. I asked him. I made him tell me exactly how good he wanted to be. It was within a week of me being hired. So when we look, we should all see a guy where that's his goal." Monachino went on to say that Mack's presence on and off the field is enormous for the group. "Out on the field he has a little more vocal juice than I give him credit for. In the meeting room, with his study habits and some of those other things, he does a lot by example. As an effort guy, I also believe he leads by example. None of that surprises me. It all affects our players. Because if our best player is willing to go that far and give that kind of effort, then they all can. So whenever we see that on tape, we point it out. We say, OK, this is good enough. This is not." Sounds like it's going to be a great season for the Bears defensive leader.
