Texas Southern’s old-school havoc-wreaker at linebacker
In the 2002 season, Lernard Mack was a disruptive Texas Southern linebacker who stuffed stat sheets with splash plays: he had 16 tackles, 7 tackles for loss, and a sack against Alabama State, then followed with 12 tackles, 6 TFLs, 3.5 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles later that season. He profiles as an aggressive, backfield-chasing defender who brings intensity and game-wrecking upside rather than just clean-up production. If your team wants a physical tone-setter who can change field position and rattle offenses, Mack is the kind of linebacker you circle in red ink.
