Several variables factored into veteran center Alex Mack's decision to sign with the San Francisco 49ers. It wasn't just because of a second reunion with head coach Kyle Shanahan. The two previously worked together in Cleveland and Atlanta. It wasn't just the money or the area, either. Mack is a Southern California native and still spends his offseason there. He played college football for the California Golden Bears. The idea of returning to his home state was enticing.
The six-time Pro Bowler joined KNBR on Thursday and discussed what went into his decision to sign with the Bay Area team. Much of it had to do with what Shanahan and general manager John Lynch have built in Santa Clara.
