    UB's Mack expresses preference for 3 - 4 defense

    Khalil Mack reflects on rise to potential No. 1 overall draft pick

    ..."Mack (6-foot-3, 251 pounds) said that while he could fit in a 4-3 scheme, especially as a pass-rushing end on third down, he thinks the 3-4 "is designed in my favor" because of his ability to rush the passer but also drop into coverage. "I feel like a 3-4 outside linebacker," he said."..

    Hmmm.

    His skill set is better in a 3-4 as he could rush the passer ala Aldon Smith and Von Miller in a 3-4 where if he plays in the 4-3 he be more responsible for making tackles. I've read he compares to Robert Quinn but not sure as Quinn played DE in college and asking Mack to play DE doesn't feel right to me.

    And there are how many 21 year old defense coordinators in the NFL?
