A day Martavius Mack will soon not forget. Round 1 and 2 have flown by, not a mention of Martavius. In fact, not a mention of any safety until late in the 2nd round. A record number of safeties entered this years draft. "My determination. Plain and simple." When reporters asked Mack what will set him apart from the numerous other options in the secondary. Martavius had let it be known that Tijuana is where Mack wanted to start his career, "The culture of the team, the winning ways, all of it. I want to be a Luchadore." Pick 60 appears on screen and Mack's phone began to buzz; "Let's get it started then coach, can't wait." It was a short but serious conversation when Mack finally received the call, in fact it took less then 30 seconds. No shorter was the conversation then the pause it took Martavius to get back to his roots, turning on the Office. "I'm not superstitious, but I am a little sitious." As Mack adorned a Luchadore mask and then politely asked us to leave. No screaming, no real celebration, Mack just seemed content and ready to get to work, and work he will do, believed to get serious play time in the upcoming season.
