What happened: Khalil Mack begins his 13th NFL season at 35 with 107.5 career sacks. His 83.1 overall grade in 2025 ranked 12th among 115 qualified edge defenders.
Why it matters: A personal best at 35 would add another peak to a résumé featuring the 2016 Defensive Player of the Year award. His high-end run defense and less productive pass rush last season set a demanding baseline for that projection.
By the numbers: In 2025, Mack recorded 39 pressures over 264 pass-rush snaps, along with 19 solo tackles, 23 stops and three forced fumbles.
What to watch: Early snap volume and pressure rate will indicate whether the career-year outlook has statistical support.
