Patriots veteran receiver stands out for his play and trash-talking ability

FOXBOROUGH – When a practice starts to unfold, it’s easy to notice Mack Hollins.

The Patriots’ 6-foot-4 receiver physically stands out. As the plays unfold, it’s also easy to hear the veteran. Hollins has been one of the loudest Patriots players during practices this summer.

The 31-year-old talks so much that his teammate, DeMario Douglas, theorized that Hollins also talks trash in his sleep.

In his first offseason in New England, Hollins has already become a favorite with his teammates. His ability to fire them up by way of trash talking adds to his presence in the Patriots locker room.
