Khalil Mack

“One of my best friends got recruited to go to Miami, and another one went to South Florida. You're talking about two big schools in Florida, and I had to go all the way up to Buffalo. I was like, 'OK, I have to put in some more work.' That's just the way it has been ever since.”

“I had some good OGs, from Charles Woodson to Justin Tuck to Antonio Smith.”

“I'm trying to get better every week.”

“I love the game of football. That's what I'm all about.”

“God is good, man.”

“Just understand that I'm trying to get to the quarterback by any means necessary. And if I have to throw somebody out of the way to do it, it is what it is.”

“I love to compete against the best.”

“It's always cool to go back to where you played in college.”

“The great thing is, it's not just about me and my impact. What you want to do is come in here and be a great teammate, lead by your excellence. That's all I've been trying to do.”

“I like to grind and not think too much about the good stuff. I like to focus on the stuff I need to get better at.”

“Consistency is what you want, especially from a defense on the road.”

“That's something you want to preach throughout the whole defense - getting the ball back to the offense.”

“The thing about football, man - it's a team game.”
