Philadelphia Eagles' Mack Hollins explains how he, other rookies learn 'massive' playbook

Hollins said he was taken aback at the size of Philly's playbook when he first got his hands on it, but coaches have eased the rookie class into the NFL by installing offensive formations and plays at a steady rate.
