Drafted out of Cal in 2009 as a Cleveland Browns’ first-round pick, Mack returned to the Bay Area for a victory lap, of sorts, to finish his career as the 49ers’ center last season.
Mack, 36, is the second 49ers’ starting center to retire in as many years; Weston Richburg preceded him a year ago. Jake Brendel and Daniel Brunskill are the 49ers’ top in-house options at center, though they could also bring in a veteran free agent, such as J.C. Tretter, Mack’s successor when he left the Browns in 2016 for the Atlanta Falcons.
Mack got married last month in Ireland, and 49ers’ teammates George Kittle and Kyle Juszczyk attended the picturesque ceremony. Mack’s agent, Tim Younger, celebrated his client’s retirement by noting how durable he was. In a tweet, Younger reminded everyone how Mack “once played through appendicitis and made next start; played with a leg fracture in Super Bowl . Durable. Dependable. A remarkable career for an incredibly good man.”“After 13 years and 204 games for 3 tams, I have decided to hang up my cleats. I am so grateful for the game of football and everything it has given me.
