UNC in the NFL: Is Mack Hollins primed for a breakout year?

The 2017 season will be tough to top for wide receiver Mack Hollins. The former University of North Carolina Tar Heels receiver was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles and went on to win a Super Bowl as the team beat the New England Patriots back in February.

Hollins found himself in a crowded receiver position in Philadelphia but still managed to contribute some in that historic season.

But as we enter 2018, Hollins could be a breakout guy on an Eagles offense that is led by quarterback Carson Wentz.

Hollins played in all 16 games for the Eagles in 2017, catching 16 of his 22 targets for 226 yards and a touchdown.
