Mack Hollins is no stranger to stealing headlines with his pregame outfits.
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Mack Hollins has consistently turned heads with his creative pregame attire before Patriots games. Over the seasons, the veteran wideout has dressed up as a colonial-era minuteman, arrived shirtless amid snowfall in Foxborough, and even channeled a character from the film *The Warriors* ahead of the AFC title game two weekends ago.
Ahead of Super Bowl LX between the Patriots and Seahawks at Levi’s Stadium, Hollins once again showcased his flair for dramatic fashion. Just a few hours before kick-off, he arrived wearing a jumpsuit accessorized with handcuffs across his wrists and shackles on his ankles. Adding to the eerie look was a spit mask across his face, reminiscent of the muzzle worn by Hannibal Lecter in *The Silence of the Lambs*.
But Hollins wasn’t finished. During warmups, he took to the field barefoot, sporting a Mike Vrabel jersey — not from the NFL coach’s pro days, but from his high school days at Walsh Jesuit High School in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.
The Patriots’ camaraderie around Coach Vrabel has been palpable. Vrabel was recently honored as the 2025 NFL Coach of the Year, an accolade reflecting his leadership on and off the field.
“Our coach believed in us,” Stefon Diggs shared after the AFC title game. “He helped us build this identity that he speaks of. He held everybody to the same standard, something I’m super thankful for. I realize that it starts at the head.
“When you hold everybody to the same standard, and you hold everybody to the same requirements each and every day, you hold your teammates accountable. The camaraderie and the team chemistry that he built from the head coaching position is second to none. I hope that he wins Coach of the Year because he’s probably the best coach I ever had.”
Vrabel himself had a unique pregame accessory upon arriving in Santa Clara. Stepping off the bus, both Vrabel and defensive tackle Khyiris Tonga wore leis—a gift with special meaning.
“As I was getting on the bus, Khyiris Tonga said that his mom wanted me to have this. She made some for the players and for me, and they came right from Hawaii, so I don’t want to disappoint Tonga or his mom,” Vrabel told NBC’s Melissa Stark.
When asked if he planned to wear the lei during Sunday’s game, Vrabel chuckled, “Nope. It’s just going to be travel gear, but I do appreciate the gesture.”
With flair on and off the field, the Patriots and their coach continue to inspire both teammates and fans alike.
