Veteran wide receiver Mack Hollins revealed three things played a factor in his signing with the New England Patriots.

New Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins likes to push his teammates to their limits. The team’s young wide receivers need that type of leadership.

Mack Hollins will bring a unique personality to the New England Patriots’ wide receiver room. The 31-year-old, who signed a two-year deal with New England, made a lasting impression Friday during his introductory press conference.

On Friday, newly signed New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins met with the media at Gillette Stadium for the first time as a member of his new team. And as he’s wont to do, Hollins did so sporting his signature barefoot look.

Mack Hollins is known for his classic barefoot look, and he brought that with him to New England, as the new Patriots receiver walked into his introductory press conference with no shoes on. So, that prompted a question about what's behind this iconic tradition.

Mack Hollins arrived at his introductory press conference with the Patriots in only a way Mack Hollins can: shoeless. That's right. As captured by ESPN's Mike Reiss, the 31-year-old wide receiver entered the media workroom to speak with reporters on Friday rocking a sweatshirt and pants—but with nothing on his feet.
