The Chicago Bears have an interesting match ahead when they play the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4. Fortunately, they have one of the league's best linebackers in Khalil Mack.

Mack has impressed fans and pundits alike with his play early in the season. He's been a terrific pass rusher that opposing QBs will have no choice but to be wary of his attacks ahead of the game.

He's been so impressive that head coach Matt Nagy showered his defender with high praise. He didn't hold back on his superlatives when he talked about Mack to Larry Meyer.

“He’s on another level right now,” said coach Matt Nagy. “He affects every single play. It doesn’t matter if he makes the play or not, he affects it. Every game I’ve watched this year already so far, he dominates. Whether it’s getting a holding call or going after the football, there are turnovers that are occurring. He’s allowing other guys to play well too.”

The defensive coordinator was also happy to talk about Mack's contributions to the team.

“Through the course of three ballgames and the amount of plays that he’s played, a regular human being, regular football player would be [involved in] 40 to maybe 50 percent on plays whether he had a tackle on it or an assist because he wasn’t at the point of attack,” said defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano. “He’s in the low 80 percentile, which is off the charts.”

He's only in his second season with the Bears, but he's already looking to have another All-Pro season. He's made ten tackles, completed three sacks, forced three fumbles, and deflected a pass.

The Bears will be counting on him when they play his former team in the Raiders. Fans can definitely expect more high-quality defensive plays from him.
