Mack also shows the ability to pull and block on the move. Mack has started every game over the past two seasons and has been a rock for the Bears on the interior line.

If they ban fighting in football, his hand punch won't be nearly as effective.

With Cal center Alex Mack recovered from an ankle injury that sidelined him for the scouting combine, NFL scouts and offensive line coaches were eagerly awaiting his Pro Day.

According to Gil Brandt of NFL.com, 30 teams attended the workout session on the Cal campus in Berkeley, Calif.

And the 6′4″, 307-pound lineman didn’t disappoint.

The potential first-round draft pick ran a 5.17 and a 5.23 in the 40-yard dash. He also registered an 8′10″ broad jump, a 4.75 short shuttle, and 20 bench press repetitions of 225 pounds.

Meanwhile, linebacker Zack Follett bench pressed 225 pounds 21 times.

Linebackers Anthony Felder and Worrell Williams clocked times of 4.76 and 4.75 seconds in the 40-yard dash, respectively.

Felder, who posted a 36-inch vertical leap, pulled his hamstring running the 40-yard dash and wasn’t able to complete the workout.

Tight end Cameron Morrah ran fast times, recording a 4.61 and a 4.63 in the 40-yard dash at 242 pounds.
