Quote:I looked up Ware's Scouting Report from 2005 on the old NFLDraftScout page that Rob Rang used to run then compared that to Mack's profile that Rang does for CBSSports.com. There's some interesting coincidences between the two.

 

<p style="margin-left:40px;">Ware: 6-4, 251, 4.56 40, 38 1/2" Vertical, 10' 2" Broad Jump

<p style="margin-left:40px;"> 

<p style="margin-left:40px;">Mack: 6-3, 251, 4.55 40, 40" Vertical, 10' 8" Broad Jump

<p style="margin-left:40px;"> 

<p style="margin-left:40px;"> 

<p style="margin-left:40px;">Ware's College career stat line - 27.5 sacks, 195 tackles (57 for losses), 74 quarterback hurries, ten forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries, and one interception.

<p style="margin-left:40px;"> 

<p style="margin-left:40px;">Mack's College career stat line - 28.5 sacks, 327 tackles (75 for losses), 31 quarterback hurries, 16 forced fumbles, four recoveries, and four interceptions.

<p style="margin-left:40px;"> 

<p style="margin-left:40px;"> 

From my perspective, his numbers are as good or better than Ware's. Now, this by no means is to say that Mack will be the next coming of Ware, but I'd gladly take Ware at #3 overall.
 

What's impressive about the stats is Mack did a lot more at Buffalo than Demarcus did at Troy, Ware was primarily asked to rush the passer, Mack was asked to do everything. Yet his career sacks and tackles for loss are better than Ware's, there's a reason why he's being called the best player in the draft.
