The Beast Running Back (RB). From mixed martial arts to football, from an obscure rookie to a superstar sweeping the league, from an outsider who knew nothing to a terrifying beast... He left numerous legends on this field and became a myth that changed the sport, yet at the beginning of the story, the creator of all these legends claimed innocently, Football, what’s that? I’m truly not a football prodigy, really.
Oakland Raiders' number 52 Defensive End, Khalil Mack, last season's Defensive Player of the Year and currently the most dominant Defensive End in the league after JJ Watt's season-ending injury, is a nightmare for any team's quarterback and running back.
The Oakland Raiders operate with a "3-4" defensive formation, which typically involves fewer blitzes, but their head coach Del Rio, a former lineman, has his own approach.
Del Rio is exceptionally skilled at reading offensive formations and often opts for aggressive plays, frequently employing linemen or cornerbacks to surge forward and sack the quarterback, even with just three men on the defensive line.
Because of this approach, Mack is able to fully leverage his strengths, using his power and speed to disrupt the offensive line and break through the front.
