Mack Hollins, Las Vegas Raiders Wide Receiver and 2018 Super Bowl Champion, got his start in football as a walk on at University of North Carolina. He was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2017 and played a major role on the Super Bowl winning team. Mack spent three years with the Eagles before making the move to the Miami Dolphins in 2019, where he proved to be indispensable on and off the field. He joined the Las Vegas Raiders in 2022. His passion for working in the community consistently shines through, from his work with Special Olympics in Philadelphia, Miami, and Las Vegas, to volunteering at schools, to advocating for inclusion for all, Mack is one of the most philanthropic players in the NFL.
