Raiders Linebacker Khalil Mack Tops Around The NFL's "Making The Leap" List

Add another accolade to Khalil Mack’s resumé.

The team at Around the NFL designated 20 players who they believed were poised to “Make the Leap,” in 2015, and the young Raiders linebacker topped the list.

To find himself in the number-one spot, Mack was placed ahead of numerous other quality players including Ryan Shazier (No. 18), Blake Bortles (No. 14), Sam Bradford (No. 9), Sammy Watkins (No. 4) and Teddy Bridgewater (No. 2).

But the Buffalo product was more than deserving of the designation as the No. 1 player, showing his ability to get to the quarterback, as well as becoming a dominant force against the run during his rookie campaign.
