Super Bowl 60: Mack Hollins arrives in handcuffs, Hannibal Lector-style mask for big game

New England Patriots wideout Mack Hollins is … a lot. The eight-year veteran is more known for his off-the-field quirkiness than his on-the-field excellence. Sunday delivered yet another example of Hollins living up to that reputation.

Hollins arrived at Super Bowl 60 in handcuffs on both his hands and legs. He also wore a Hannibal Lector-style mask on his face and a red outfit meant to invoke a prison uniform.

Hollins, perhaps unsurprisingly, also arrived barefoot. Hollins, 32, is a big advocate of the "free the feet" lifestyle, which he picked up when he met with a group of trainers in Australia. He'll go barefoot no matter the weather, which has resulted in some interesting photos from his season with the Patriots. It tends to get pretty cold in New England in the winter, but Hollins doesn't seem to care.

Turns out, Hollins had a full day of outfits planned ahead of the Super Bowl. As he took the field for warmups, Hollins appeared wearing head coach Mike Vrabel's high school jersey.

In his first season with the Patriots, Hollins has emerged as an ancillary weapon for quarterback Drake Maye. In 15 games, Hollins hauled in 46 catches for 550 yards and two scores. 

While Stefon Diggs is a more likely threat to pull off a massive, game-winning play in the Super Bowl, stranger things have happened in the big game. Hollins should have opportunities to make a difference Sunday. If he can take advantage of them, he won't be known for being the barefoot receiver. He'll be, potentially, known as a Super Bowl hero.
