As I watched Khalil Mack destroy the Vikings on Sunday, I was reminded of the fact that Khalil's strength coach at Buffalo was none other than... Zach Duval.
And assuming there's a positive connection between the two (Zach and Khalil), makes me wonder if there isn't a way for NU to feature Zach more in its Pro Big Red tweets, etc. Especially since we're on the hunt for defensive players.
See the bolded part below. Wouldn't recruits connect the same dots?
From a OWH article back in April:
"Members of the defensive line found an extra gear during winter conditioning when strength and conditioning coach Zach Duval described the career path of Khalil Mack. Duval worked with Mack — a defensive end who was the No. 5 overall pick in the 2014 NFL draft — during their time together at Buffalo in the early 2010s.
“The whole defensive line started going crazy,” Akinmoladun said. “The first week we were dying. Then he told that story and we were like, ‘Well, we all have dreams and aspirations to go to the NFL.’ So we all just picked it up and started lifting really heavy.”
