2008 Bio:
  • Name is pronounced MAHL
  • Has started 18 games during his first three seasons, with 11 coming at right guard and seven at right tackle
  • Played in all 16 games during rookie season of 2006, with five starts each at right guard and right tackle. Lists starting in his hometown, at San Francisco (Dec.10), as the biggest thrill of his rookie season
  • Was Green Bay’s starting right guard for the 2006 season opener after playing offensive line just one year in college
  • Moved to offensive tackle as a senior in 2005 after spending his first four seasons at Nevada as a tight end
  • Immediately blossomed at his new position, earning first-team All-Western Athletic Conference honors in ’05 as a tackle while playing all 942 of his team’s offensive snaps
  • Once an all-league defensive end and tight end as a prep, he had arrived at Nevada in 2001 as a 245-pound tight end
Pro Summary
  • Fourth-year pro will once again provide depth at both tackle and guard
  • Has played in 39 games during his first three seasons, including 18 starts
  • Of those starts, 11 have come at right guard and seven at right tackle
  • Started the opening three games of ’08 at right guard and started two more late in the season at right tackle
  • After playing in all 16 games as a rookie in 2006, including 10 starts, sustained a neck stinger early in ’07 training camp that forced him to miss the early portion of the season, as well as some mid-season games when he re-aggravated it
  • Thought to be a long-term developmental project and perhaps a “redshirt” of sorts when selected in the fifth round in 2006, turned into an opening-day starter and a solid contributor throughout his rookie campaign
  • After playing only one season on the offensive line in college, won a starting job at right guard in training camp and showed his versatility by starting five late-season games at right tackle as well for Mark Tauscher (groin)
  • Spent four seasons (2001-04) as a tight end at Nevada, including his ’01 redshirt year, before moving to offensive tackle for his senior campaign
  • Found an immediate home on the offensive line, earning first-team All-Western Athletic Conference honors in his initial season at tackle (2005)
  • Added 45 pounds to his frame between the ’04 and ’05 seasons in preparation for his move to the trenches
  • Began collegiate career at 245 pounds in ’01
  • A potential move to offensive line was a near-annual discussion with his coaches at Nevada, but when the switch finally was made heading into his final year it marked the first time since youth football he had played the position
  • Was a four-time letterman and two-year starter for the Wolf Pack (2003 at tight end, 2005 at offensive tackle)
  • Posted four touchdowns among only 11 career receptions in his three active seasons at tight end
  • Had been an all-league defensive end and tight end during his prep career in Sonoma, Calif.
2008 SeasonBack To Top
  • Played in 14 games with five starts, three at RG to open the season and two later in the season at RT
  • Helped blocked for Ryan Grant’s career-high 1,203 rushing yards, which ranks as the seventh-highest single-season rushing mark in franchise history
  • Also helped protect Aaron Rodgers on his way to 4,038 passing yards to give the Packers a 4,000-yard passer and a 1,200-yard rusher in the same season for the first time in team history
  • Vs. Minnesota (Sept. 8): Got the starting nod at RG for the second season opener in three years with C Scott Wells out with injury and Jason Spitz shifting over to start at C. Was part of line that did not allow a sack in the game
  • Vs. Houston (Dec. 7): Entered game at RT early in the second quarter when Tauscher left with a season-ending knee injury, and played the remainder of the contest there
  • At Jacksonville (Dec. 14): Started his first game at RT since Dec. 17, 2006 (vs. Detroit)
  • Vs. Detroit (Dec. 28): Came in at RT in the third quarter after LG Allen Barbre sustained an ankle injury and Daryn Colledge moved to LG from RT. Helped pave the way for Grant and RB DeShawn Wynn to each post 100-plus yards rushing, only the second time since 1985 that a Packers tandem accomplished that feat in the same game
2007 SeasonBack To Top
  • Played in nine games with three starts, all at right guard, and played in both playoff contests
  • Sustained a neck stinger early in training camp and did not play any preseason games

  • Vs. Detroit (Dec. 30): Filled in at both RG and RT; helped the team rush for 217 yards, 113 coming from Brandon Jackson, his first 100-yard rushing performance as a pro
2006 SeasonBack To Top
  • Rookie fifth-round draft pick, who wasn’t invited to the scouting combine, wound up making significant contributions to the league’s ninth-ranked offense
  • Played in all 16 games, with 10 starts
  • The former collegiate tight end first made his name prior to the second preseason game, when coaches re-arranged the depth chart and inserted him into the starting lineup at right guard
  • Wound up starting five games at RG, including an emergency assignment in Week 7, and filled in at RT for Tauscher (groin) for five-plus games late in the year
  • Vs. Chicago (Sept. 10): Made his first career start in his NFL debut
  • At Miami (Oct. 22): Was added as a last-minute starter at RG, with Chad Clifton out (illness); Colledge moved to LT and Spitz to LG, marking the first time since at least the 1970 merger that the Packers started three rookies on the offensive line, according to Elias Sports Bureau
  • Vs. New England (Nov. 19): Made his first of five straight starts at RT for an injured Tauscher (groin)
