Why Bill's receiver went shoeless before "SNF".

Mack Hollins runs barefoot through a winter wonderland.

The Buffalo Bills receiver doesn’t seem to be worried about the cold, especially since there’s more than a foot of snow in the region. Hollins, known on TikTok for his “Mack’s Maintenance Challenge” videos, is one of the more interesting NFL characters.

From helping repair various appliances around the house to braving the wrath of Mother Nature, Hollins handles it all.

Hollins did his best as snow miser meets mad scientist, coming to Sunday Night Football in Week 13 in style. Here’s a look at his look and why he decided to forgo the shoes.

Regardless, a little cold weather couldn’t stop him from getting his point across. Like a mad scientist, Hollins marched into Highmark Stadium and embraced the elements. The look will look familiar if you follow Hollins on TikTok, as he spent the month of November conducting a daily science experiment.

Despite the piles of snow, icy ground and more, Hollins showed that sometimes it really is all about the mind. A little snow didn’t stop the receiver from continuing his signature trend.

Why is Mack Hollins barefoot?

In a world where no shoes often means no service, Hollins beats his own drum.

He has been questioned about this frequently over the years, suggesting that it should not be viewed as strange.

“It was great for me,” Hollins said in an interview. “Everyone should be barefoot – you don’t see people walking around in mittens. If you don’t use your fingers, you don’t have the dexterity to use them – the same goes for your feet, toes and ankles.” Running barefoot has definitely helped me with my jumps and jumps because I feel like I can can grip the ground better.

Hollins, who has battled injuries throughout his career, credits his barefoot approach with helping him overcome them.

“Shoes are a tool,” he said during training camp. “You wouldn’t walk around with a hammer just because you might nail something every now and then. Why walk around in shoes just because you might step on something every now and then?”
