The New England Patriots’ addition of Stefon Diggs in their wide receiver room this offseason obviously caught the most attention from fans, but he wasn’t the only pass-catcher the Patriots added to their team in free agency.
New England also signed Mack Hollins to their team, inking him to a two-year, $8 million contract. The veteran receiver is fresh off a strong season with the Buffalo Bills that saw him catch 31 passes for 378 yards and five touchdowns.
Beyond his football skills, Hollins is known for his eccentric personality. For example, Hollins almost never wears shoes, and he ended up going viral for showing up to the Bills’ games in January barefoot, even though the temperatures outside were freezing cold.
As it turns out, Hollins’ aversion to shoes isn’t his only unique fashion opinion. After practice on Monday afternoon, Hollins was sporting an oddly cut shirt that quickly caught the attention of reporters.
Hollins figures to play a big role on offense for New England in 2024, as his ability to make big plays on the outside should help open up things underneath for the rest of the team. After initially missing the start of training camp, his presence has been hard to miss since his return last week.
With Hollins, Diggs, Demario Douglas, and Kyle Williams leading the Patriots’ wide receiver room, second-year quarterback Drake Maye’s supporting cast is looking significantly better than last season’s. However, Hollins’ fashion taste may leave a little bit to be desired.
