Mack Hollins' "no free lunches" mindset defines Falcons receiver corps

Posted Aug 22, 2023
"Nobody has a spot (guaranteed)," wide receiver Mack Hollins said after Falcons practice Monday. "That's our mindset. Every day is a competition where you have an opportunity to prove yourself. That's how we'll go through the end of the season. Every week is an opportunity to take a spot. I've been saying it since I got here. There are no free lunches." (Atlanta Falcons)
