What General Manager Reggie McKenzie Said:

"Number one: Mario is a good football player. He's big, strong, physical, good feel for the game. His deal is he definitely can play the run and he can pressure the quarterback. He's not the speed rusher, but he is a good pass rusher, so we're expecting him to do a lot of things for us."
