Raiders rookie Khalil Mack has the 2nd highest PFF grade behind only JJ Watt
The Oakland Raiders struck gold with Khalil Mack and hopefully he receives a Pro Bowl invite tonight.
The Defensive Rookie of the Year frontrunner was mysteriously not among the top ten in fan voting, but Pro Football Focus believes he has earned a place on the Pro Bowl roster. His PFF rating is a staggering +56.2 which has surpassed Von Miller (+50.3) as the highest grade of any outside linebacker in the NFL this season.
The only player at any position to have a higher grade is Defensive Player of the Year lock, J.J. Watt (+101.0). As one of the most dominant defenders both against the run and in pass rushing, Mack deserves to make this team.
