Mack Hollins' Hard Work Pays Off

Posted Aug 31, 2014
Mack Hollins was the special teams captain in 2013 and has since earned a scholarship and No. 2 spot on Carolina’s wide receiver depth chart this season. “Last year I was all special teams and I got a few reps here and there at receiver, but nothing big,” admitted Hollins. “Spring practice was big for me. I got more reps at receiver, I got opportunities, and I just took advantage of them.” (GoHeels.com)
