Mack Hollins and his barefoot fits before Bills games are wild

If it’s game day, Mack Hollins is 100 percent likely to be the guy turning heads.

The quirky Buffalo Bills receiver wears what he wants ahead of matchups (regardless of weather conditions) and does what he wants, like not wearing shoes.

Yep. Mack Hollins is primarily a shoeless individual. It’s his thing.

Here’s what we mean. Before Buffalo’s recent snowy playoff game against the Ravens, Hollins arrived at the stadium wearing sunglasses and several Bills-themed items, including a straw hat, swim trunks and a floral shirt. He was also carrying a beach towel and a Bills mini-football. And yes, he was barefoot in freezing temps.

It’s not the first time he’s done it. Mack has been doing this since before he arrived in Buffalo and has continued it during his Bills tenure.

These are some of the highlights from this season.

If you’re wondering about those bare feet he maintains, there’s a reason for that. “It’s been great for me,” Hollins said in an interview.

“Everybody should be barefoot. You don’t see people walking around in mittens. If you don’t use your fingers, you don’t have the dexterity to use them. Same thing with your feet and your toes and your ankles … It’s definitely helped me with my take-offs, my get-offs because I feel like I can grip the ground better.”
