Atlanta Falcons center Alex Mack has become a baker during quarantine, but it wasn't on purpose. Mack said that he went to order a bag of flour on Amazon but didn't pay attention to how big the bag was. Instead of buying a small bag like he though, Mack was shipped a 50-pound bag.

“I needed flour so I went on Amazon, and I really didn’t pay attention to the size or anything, and I ended up buying a 50-pound bag of flour,” Mack said, via Jeff Schultz of The Athletic. “I didn’t realize how much flour 50 pounds was. So now I’m baking bread just to get rid of all the flour.”

Mack has filled his Twitter account with different pictures of things that he has been baking. By the looks of some of the pictures, the Falcons Pro-Bowler knows what he is doing.

Mack said all the baking of different kings of loaves of bread has helped him pass the time while he tries to follow the stay-at-home order.

“I’m trying to stay inside and do the right thing, and that’s also paired with this desire to have hobbies and develop things,” Mack said. “It’s hard to have hobbies when you can’t go out. But I knew flour, water and yeast turns into bread. So I got the ingredients, I went on Amazon and bought a bread book, and there’s not a lot you can’t learn if you get a book or two and then go on YouTube. There’s someone on almost any subject on YouTube just dying to teach you how to do something.”

Maybe once Mack decides to hang up the cleats from the NFL, the Falcons vet can become a bread baking expert.
