New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins has made it clear that he tries to avoid wearing shoes when he’s off the football field.
So it was no surprise that he arrived barefoot in Santa Clara, California, a few hours before Super Bowl LX began. But what she was actually wearing may have been more surprising.
The 32-year-old walked to the Patriots locker room wearing a mask that appeared to be a nod to Hannibal Lecter, along with handcuffs on his wrists. Hollins’ feet were also chained and a red jumpsuit had the words “Range 13” on the back.

Hollins, who won a Super Bowl during his rookie season with the Philadelphia Eagles, had Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel’s high school jersey in his hand as he walked through the Levi’s Stadium tunnel. Vrabel aims to be the first person to win a Super Bowl title as a player and then as head coach of the same franchise.
Hollins did some early warmups on the stadium turf Sunday while wearing the “Warriors'” No. 84 jersey and, of course, sans cleats.

While the shirt was a nod, it could also have hinted at the cult favorite 1979 film “The Warriors.” The Patriots went undefeated on the road last regular season and won the AFC Championship game in Denver. In a nod to the film, the idea of ​​persevering away from home became a rallying cry for the team this year.

Clips of the 1980s professional wrestling duo the Road Warriors became a common theme for Vrabel to show to the Patriots this season. Once Vrabel ran out of unseen clips to show the team, he moved on to “The Warriors” videos.
Vrabel, 50, told reporters last week that he was initially surprised that the clips resonated with players. “It’s amazing what sticks. I didn’t think at the time it would have stuck, but here we are at the end of January and it’s still sticking,” the former New England linebacker said.
While the Patriots were granted home team designation for the neutral site game, the team elected to wear their white away jerseys for Super Bowl LX, staying in line with their “road warriors” mentality.
Sunday isn’t the first time Hollins’ pregame outfit has drawn attention.

Before a January 2025 NFL playoff game between the Bills and Ravens, the then-Buffalo receiver arrived at the stadium in Orchard Park, New York, wearing sunglasses, a straw hat, board shorts and a floral shirt. He was also seen holding a beach towel, along with a Bills mini football.
