Patriots WR's Wild Super Bowl Entry: Hannibal Lecter Style!
9 Feb
Summary
- Mack Hollins arrived barefoot, wearing a Hannibal Lecter mask and handcuffs.
- He carried coach Mike Vrabel's high school jersey as a tribute.
- Hollins' attire referenced 'The Warriors' movie and the Road Warriors.
New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins surprised onlookers with a unique arrival at Super Bowl LX. He entered the stadium barefoot, sporting a Hannibal Lecter-style mask, handcuffs, and shackles, clad in a red jumpsuit. Hollins also carried coach Mike Vrabel's high school jersey, a gesture to Vrabel's aim to win a Super Bowl as both player and coach for the same franchise.
Hollins' outfit also appeared to be a tribute to the 1979 movie "The Warriors," a film whose themes of persevering away from home became a rallying cry for the Patriots. This theme was further amplified by coach Vrabel's use of clips from the professional wrestling duo, the Road Warriors, during the season. The Patriots, embracing their 'road warriors' mentality, chose to wear their white road jerseys for the game, despite having the home team designation.
