Bills receiver Mack Hollins braved the Buffalo cold on Sunday in an eye-catching beach outfit – despite below-freezing temperatures in the area.
Hollins, who famously does not wear shoes, was seen arriving in a bathing suit, opened Hawaiian shirt and straw hat as he made his way into Highmark Stadium ahead of his team’s divisional clash against the Ravens.
He even draped a towel over his shoulder and put sunscreen on his nose as if he was about to enjoy some balmy weather.
Instead, the weather in Western New York is 22 degrees Fahrenheit ahead of the 6:30pm ET clash.
And the temperature is expected to drop even further to around 19 degrees near kickoff.

In a previous interview with NBC Sports Philadelphia in 2023, Hollins explained that he’d been going barefoot for the last four or five years.
‘It has been great for me.,’ Hollins said. ‘I think it’s fun because everyone should be barefoot. You don’t see people walking around in mittens.’
He went on to share that he was inspired to forgo shoes when he met a group of Australian men that specialize in ‘holistic grounding exercises.’
The eccentric wideout also refuses to use dining utensils, and is against eating soup.
‘I just think conceptually, it just makes so much sense, but culturally, I guess it doesn’t,’ he told 92.3 The Game’s Dukes & Bell about going barefoot.
‘If everybody walked around with mittens on their hands people would think it’s the most insane thing, but then we have shoes on our feet and people wonder why their feet don’t look the way they should or they’re not strong and why people have ankle and knee problems It’d be the same thing if you covered your hands your whole life and then wondered why you had wrist or elbow problems. It all starts from the bottom.’

While Hollins’ fellow Bills don’t follow his barefoot lifestyle, they do love his company.
‘One of my favorite players, honestly probably one of my favorite people I’ve ever met,’ offensive coordinator Joe Brady told reporters over the summer, via Buffalo Plus.
Quarterback Josh Allen added, ‘I love Mack,’ while Dion Dawkins hilariously branded him ‘Tarzan.’
A fourth-round pick in 2017, Hollins began his career with the Eagles before stops with the Dolphins, Raiders and Falcons.
Hollins joined the Bills on a one-year, $2.6million contract last offseason.
The 31-year-old had 378 receiving yards and a career-high five touchdowns during the regular season.
