The New England Patriots’ roster construction under first-year head coach Mike Vrabel put a premium on culture. It was therefore not surprising to see veteran wide receiver Mack Hollins join the team in free agency.
A journeyman on his sixth team since entering the league in 2017, Hollins certainly is a character. Behind the costumes he has worn during his pre-game arrivals and his distaste for wearing shoes even in wintery conditions, however, lies a player who is a competitor through-and-through and somebody willing to challenge his teammates.
Hollins said as much during his introductory press conference back in March.
