I would still be worried about his technique, because with his technique (that he first learned in high school), he does overextend and gets off-balance. It's probably still a risk, in the minds of scouts as far as how effective his technique will be in the nfl. To some, unger may be a safer pick at Center.
I disagree. Big surprise right? Mack is by far the top rated center in the draft. If you watch film of him, when he does fall, he's usually falling over the guy he knocked on his ass or it's away from the play where he has blocked his man and does'nt stop until the whistle blows. He does'nt make a block and then stop and stand there when the RB has gone by him. He continues playing. If he wasn't so aggressive and constantly going until the whistle blew, he would'nt fall as much, but you may notice he does'nt fall until the end of the play or at least until his man is out of the play. He DOES bust his ass trying to make plays. He opens holes and I really don't care if he does it on his knees. He opens holes.
