He (younger Mack) doesn't have the length you'd expect of an NFL edge rusher/OLB. Move him to ILB and give him a shot to replace KPL?
That was my first thought also. ILB for this guy at the NFL level and see if he's any good.
Just looking at the roster as it sits now, I'd say RB and ILB are about the only spots a new/rookie UDFA has a shot to make the team as a deep backup. And LMack looks like he'd be perfectly sized to play 3-4 ILB to me. He's probably not tall enough to be an OLB in a 3-4.
Be great if that panned out since we lost Kwiat and KPL to FA last month.

And if he gets a shot at special teams maybe he can try to shine there. Anything to make the team. He's facing a long shot though. But I do hope he has enough talent to make it.
