Virginia RB Mike Hollins Says His Recovery from Gunshot Wound is a 'Miracle'

Virginia running back Mike Hollins has a new perspective returning to football practice after recovering from a gunshot wound in November.

"I have a lot more to play for," Hollins said Tuesday, per Andrea Adelson of ESPN. "So if there is a drop-off, I'll make up for it. It's literally a miracle that I'm here today and just living that out. My mom tells me be a blessing to others. Make someone smile. Make someone's day every day and just spread my blessings, so that's what I try to do."

Hollins was among the five people shot on Nov.
