For his entire 12-year career, when Alex Mack has been introduced as a starter, he's done so in front of fans.
Because of COVID-19, things are different this year. No fans were in attendance during Atlanta's Week 1 game against the Seattle Seahawks. That didn't stop Mack from bringing the juice coming out of the tunnel at Mercedes-Benz Stadium when his name was called.
Mack had some fun pretending to hype up a non-existent crowd and his player introduction went viral following Sunday's game.
