Khalil Mack to Work Out With Broncos OT He Burned in Week 2 is All-Time Classy Move
By Parker White
Khalil Mack is arguably the best pass-rusher in the NFL, so there's no shame in getting whooped by him on Sunday's.
Denver Broncos offensive tackle Garett Bolles learned that the hard way, as he struggled mightily in their Week 2 loss to Chicago, racking up four holding penalties against Mack in the process.
Well, Mack is no ordinary defender, and in an incredibly wholesome gesture, Mack has offered to train with Bolles during the offseason.
“He gave me a big hug after the game and told me, ‘Keep your head up. Let’s get together this offseason,'” Bolles said Sunday afternoon.
It's definitely not often that an opposing defender offers to take an offensive lineman under his wing, especially after embarrassing him for four straight quarters. But Mack is a different breed, both humble and elite, and he showcased his best qualities with this incredible gesture.
Bolles better be prepared to put in some serious work over the offseason, as training with Mack could be a career-altering opportunity.
The Broncos drafted Bolles in the first round back in 2017, and the hope was that he'd become the anchor of their offensive line and be their left tackle for the next decade. However, Bolles has struggled a bit, and there's a chance he could make a transition to a new position on the O-Line.
If the Broncos know that Mack is willing to help him out when the offseason rolls around, they might want to keep Bolles in his current spot and allow Mack's tutelage to set in.
