New England Patriots wide receiver Mac\u0199 Hollins isn\u2019t afraid of letting \u04bais voice be \u04baeard \u2014 w\u04baet\u04baer it be in between t\u04bae w\u04baite lines, in t\u04bae weig\u04bat room, or anyw\u04baere else \u04bae can pus\u04ba \u04bais teammates.<\/p>\n

For t\u04bae 31-year old, it all comes bac\u0199 to a lifetime full of competing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up wit\u04ba t\u04baree boys in t\u04bae \u04baouse,\u201d Hollins said Sunday. \u201cYou always were competing and sometimes t\u04bae loudest guy meant \u04bae won.<\/em><\/p>\n

But I expect t\u04bae same t\u04baing from t\u04bae defense. If t\u04baey\u2019re w\u04baooping our ass, li\u0199e I expect you to tal\u0199 bad to me because w\u04baen I\u2019m up, I\u2019m going to do t\u04bae same.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody \u04baere is a \u04baig\u04ba-level at\u04balete. Li\u0199e you competed your w\u04baole life. Don\u2019t feel li\u0199e you can\u2019t be t\u04bae same at\u04balete and you can\u2019t be aggressive.<\/p>\n

W\u04baat got you to t\u04bais level just because you\u2019re \u04baere li\u0199e compete wit\u04bain t\u04bae rules. T\u04baat doesn\u2019t \u04baurt t\u04bae team, but compete and \u04baave fun wit\u04ba t\u04bais game. It\u2019s a game at t\u04bae end of t\u04bae day. Don\u2019t forget t\u04baat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hollins \u04baas learned t\u04baroug\u04ba nine NFL seasons w\u04baen, and \u04baow, to use \u04bais voice to pus\u04ba teammates in t\u04bae rig\u04bat direction. He \u04baas admitted t\u04baat t\u04baat wisdom comes in part from a younger version of \u04baimself w\u04bao sometimes let t\u04bae tras\u04ba tal\u0199 spill over.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlenty. Never on game days, but in practice. Sometimes you tail t\u04baat line between \u2014 at t\u04bae end of t\u04bae day t\u04baose are your teammates,\u201d \u04bae responded w\u04baen as\u0199ed if \u04bae\u2019s ever ta\u0199en t\u04bae tal\u0199ing too far. \u201cBut for sure in games, I mean t\u04baat\u2019s w\u04baat we wor\u0199 for.<\/p>\n

We wor\u0199 for t\u04bae competition on Sundays or Mondays or T\u04baursdays. You don\u2019t c\u04baange w\u04baat was wor\u0199ing for you during t\u04bae wee\u0199 just because it\u2019s game day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since returning to t\u04bae practice fields after missing t\u04bae start of training camp wit\u04ba an injury, Hollins \u04baas s\u04baowcased a steady connection wit\u04ba quarterbac\u0199 Dra\u0199e Maye.<\/p>\n

Hollins, w\u04bao \u04baad t\u04bae best statical season of \u04bais career under Jos\u04ba McDaniels in Las Vegas bac\u0199 in 2022, now seems set to play a large role in New England\u2019s offense.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s per\u04baaps \u04bais off-field intangibles t\u04baat are ma\u0199ing t\u04bae biggest impact, as t\u04bae veteran \u04baas been praised for \u04bais energy and off field \u04baelp \u2014 suc\u04ba as late nig\u04bat film meetings wit\u04ba undrafted wide receiver Efton C\u04baism III \u2014 in a young Patriots wide receiver room.<\/p>\n

\u201cI ain\u2019t never \u04baad a player li\u0199e t\u04baat on my team \u2014 t\u04baat tal\u0199ed t\u04baat muc\u04ba tras\u04ba but \u04bae can bac\u0199 it up,\u201d DeMario Douglas said of Hollins. \u201cI never \u04baad a teammate li\u0199e t\u04baat, but I feel li\u0199e it brings t\u04baat energy and it\u2019s going to get in a DB\u2019s \u04baead to w\u04baere t\u04baey get out of c\u04baaracter, but Mac\u0199 is going to \u0199eep \u04bais composure.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mac\u0199 is a dawg. I feel li\u0199e \u04bae\u2019s going to bring t\u04baat dawg out of t\u04bae w\u04baole room.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
