Khalil Mack has been a dominant presence for the Chicago Bears and he'll get a chance to play with his brother. Following the end of the 2020 NFL Draft, Ledarius Mack and Khalil are reuniting once again in Chicago.
Once the draft concluded, all 32 teams in the NFL rushed to sign the undrafted free agents that they were interested in. Even though he wasn't drafted, Ledarius didn't have to wait long before signing with the Bears an undrafted free agent.
Similar to Khalil, Ledarius played his college football at Buffalo, rushing the passer off the edge. In his final collegiate season, Ledarius tallied seven sacks, 11 tackles for loss, three forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries.
With Khalil already on the team, the Bears had an edge over the other teams interested in signing his younger brother. After being able to sign Ledarius, Bears GM Ryan Pace commented on the dynamic of having brothers on the same team.
“With Khalil’s brother, that’s definitely something that we’re looking forward to,” Bears General Manager Ryan Pace said, via the Chicago Sun-Times. “It’s something that worked out for us. It will be unique having two brothers on the same team.”
Of course, Khalil has been one of the best edge rushers in the NFL since he was drafted in 2014. Before the 2018 season, Khalil was traded to the Bears from the Las Vegas Raiders. In his two seasons in Chicago, Khalil has notched 21 sacks, 18 tackles for loss, and 11 forced fumbles.
If Ledarius can following his brother's path in the NFL, the Bears might have found a gem in undrafted free agency. At the least, it appears that there will be a return of the Macks in the Windy City.
