Mack Hollins, who enters training camp as the Falcons’ No. 2 wide receiver, is quickly establishing himself as the go-to guy for one-liners.
“I don’t like people that eat with utensils to be honest with you,” Hollins said after Atlanta’s third training camp practice, “they make you soft.”
That quote was part of Hollins’s answer to a question about prima-donnas in a locker room, and it’s a fascinating insight into a player making a first impression with Falcons fans. In the moment, the impression it left on the reporters gathered around the 6-foot-4, 221-pound receiver with his lion’s mane of hair pulled back and tied off was one of joyous bewilderment.
