Patriots’ Mack Hollins’ Shoeless Habit Sparks Viral Explanation

Typically, we’d say that New England Patriots receiver Mack Hollins wants his followers to walk a mile in his shoes.

Hollins, a ninth-year receiver from North Carolina, prefers going shoeless when possible. If he’s not on the field or working out, he’s walking around and letting his feet soak up fresh air.

Appearing on Bussin’ With The Boys this week, Hollins explained that he’s committed to avoiding shoes partly because he believes Americans are “so soft now.”

"Like bro, do something hard for once,” Hollins said.
