Veteran wide receiver Mack Hollins has sparked a new trend at Buffalo Bills training camp.
There’s a trend catching on across the St. John Fisher University campus as the Buffalo Bills progress through their 2024 training camp, an on-the-surface strange fad that seems to be genuinely aiding in the construction of camaraderie.
Not all of Buffalo’s roster is as committed to the ‘grounded’ lifestyle as Hollins, as they’re not yet operating without shoes in their day-to-day lives. Hollins, a one-of-one type personality who also eats with his hands and despises cats, has gone barefoot whenever possible throughout the past “two or three years,” first noticing the benefits while rehabbing from a significant lower-body injury he suffered in 2018.
“I’m like, what the hell are y’all doing? The same way y’all look at me, that’s how I was looking at them. They’re like, ‘This is what we do, we’re always barefoot except for bathrooms and airports. We train barefoot.’ So I started training with them barefoot, and at the time I couldn’t walk, I was ready to retire. And they got me back healthy.”
“Shoes are a tool, you wouldn’t walk around with a hammer just because you have to nail something every once in a while. Why do you walk around in shoes just because you might step on something every once in a while?”Buffalo’s roster taking to the barefoot way of life is just a testament to the impact that Hollins has already made on his teammates, something that has been oft-spoken about since the wideout inked a one-year deal with the Bills in March.
