Bears' Akiem Hicks: 'How do you block Khalil Mack?'

Akiem Hicks believes the Chicago Bears' newest addition will prove to be unstoppable in his first year with the club.

Chicago begins the season against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Sunday, and though the Packers boast one of the NFL's premier offensive lines, Hicks believes they are no match for Khalil Mack.

"I know those five guys can't block Khalil Mack," Hicks said on a conference call via ESPN's Rob Demovsky.

Hicks clarified that Mack isn't just a unique problem to the Packers, with defenses around the NFL struggling to contain the three-time Pro Bowler since his rookie year.

"I think the question every team is going to ask is, how do you block Khalil Mack?" Hicks said. "So him being there, it just gives me more freedom to have one-on-ones.

"Can you tell how excited I am to have my new teammate?"

Mack, the 2016 Defensive Player of the Year, is a genuine game-breaking talent and will be counted upon to lead the Bears to their first playoff appearance since 2010.
