Buffalo Bills Player Shocks With Pregame Outfit At Arrowhead Stadium

A big game like the AFC Championship requires a special outfit for Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mack Hollins.
Hollins has been a key contributor as a receiver and on special teams for the Bills this season. The 31-year-old has also gone viral pretty much weekly for his pregame attire, which includes going barefoot, no matter the weather. Last week, Hollins showed up at Highmark Stadium for the Bills' AFC Divisional Round game against the Baltimore Ravens in a swimsuit, despite frigid conditions.
"So I've been doing it for about four, five years," Hollins said of his barefoot lifestyle on 92.3 The Game's Dukes & Bell in 2023. "When I have days where I have to go on a plane it's my worst days when I have shoes on, like right now. It's hard for me to like sit still 'cause I have shoes on. But yeah, I've been barefoot for four or five years and I just think conceptually, it just makes so much sense, but culturally, I guess it doesn't. If everybody walked around with mittens on their hands people would think it's the most insane thing, but then we have shoes on our feet and people wonder why their feet don't look the way they should or they're not strong and why people have ankle and knee problems It'd be the same thing if you covered your hands your whole life and then wondered why you had wrist or elbow problems. It all starts from the bottom."
This afternoon, Hollins showed up at Arrowhead Stadium wearing culottes, a cutoff shirt and an Animal from the Muppets costume head.

What, if any, impact does this have on the game today? Probably none.
Still, respect to Hollins for being himself, no matter how many weird looks he draws.
"Going with no shoes, having wild hair, eating with my hands instead of utensils, that type of stuff, that's not bothering anybody. That's who I am. That's what makes me happy. Do the things that make you happy in life. Like I said, life's too short to be worried about what other people think," Hollins said last summer, via Spectrum 1.
We'll see if Hollins will walk barefoot into the Super Bowl in two weeks. The Bills have to slay the dragon in KC first.
The AFC Championship Game will kick off at 6:30 p.m. ET on CBS.
