The 2013-15 nightmare Falcons fans had to live through in regard to the team’s center position made this fanbase incredibly appreciative of one of the most under-appreciated positions in all of football. When Alex Mack swooped in to save us from that nightmare of subpar play, the fanbase and organization became substantially appreciative of him as well.
Mack has already played a lifetime of football by average NFL standards — he’s a 10-year veteran who has started 149 career games within the teeth of the trenches. Three of those years have been spent in Atlanta, and have resulted in a symbiotic relationship of success for both Mack as a player and for the Atlanta Falcons as an organization.
