3 Bears who could help the Vikings during the 2019 season

Khalil Mack – LB

Khalil Mack is one of those players that makes any team better just because he is on it. Mack is a dominating presence that can change a defense and destroy an offense. Just look what he did for the Bears a season ago.

Chicago was a team many thought would be improved heading into the 2018 season, but still a few years from being a serious threat in the NFC North.

Late that offseason though, the Bears acquired Mack from the Raiders and their entire team changed. Chicago went from being a few years away from competing again to immediately becoming the NFC North champions.

The Bears’ defense, which was already good, became extremely dangerous. Mack elevated the play of everyone around him making the unit especially difficult for opposing offenses to move the ball.

Mack is so quick and so powerful that he can’t be blocked by just one man. All the attention he gets frees up other talented defenders like Akiem Hicks and Leonard Floyd and allows them to get favorable one-on-one matchups.

It doesn’t really matter how Mack would fit in the Vikings’ defense. He could play standing up, or with his hand in the dirt. Maybe Mike Zimmer would even get nutty and put him inside on passing downs.

There are a ton of things that could be done with this extremely talented player. Having him on the same defensive line as Danielle Hunter, Linval Joseph, and Everson Griffen would be crazy. Quarterbacks would have no time to throw the football and they would be getting lit up snap after snap.

Mack is someone Minnesota’s fans will hate on Sunday. But deep down in their purple little hearts, they know for a fact that they’d love to have him on the Vikings.
