"Mack Hollins hasn't consistently worn shoes in the past decade, not since he started working with a cadre of holistic Australian trainers who extol the virtues of naked feet. He's barefoot today, as normal, or at least his normal, and the cafeteria staffers need him to freeze in his tracks. They'd like to clean up the mess, lest one of the team's newest wide receivers land on the injury report: downgraded to out (glass shards)."
"Hollins signed with the Patriots, his fifth team in the past five seasons, in March, so he is still new in Foxborough, and that means The Mack Hollins Experience is still fresh in Foxborough, with the team getting a crash course. Coach Mike Vrabel has noticed the offense starting to drag late in practices this summer, waiting for someone to make a play. He watches Hollins do just that."
A glass breaks in the New England Patriots' cafeteria but wide receiver Mack Hollins walks on barefoot, unfazed by shards. Hollins has not consistently worn shoes for a decade after training with holistic Australian coaches who praise barefoot conditioning. He signed with the Patriots in March, his fifth team in five seasons, and his unorthodox habits and personality are already notable around the facility. Teammates and coaches observe Hollins making plays late in practice, engaging teammates with conversations about obscure topics, and bringing an energetic, attention-commanding presence that is galvanizing the team.
