Mack Hollins is open to transitioning from wide receiver to a hybrid tight end for the New England Patriots in the 2026 NFL season. With a crowded receiver depth chart and a lack of depth at tight end, Hollins expressed willingness to adapt to help the team, stating he can block effectively. He recorded 46 catches for 550 yards in the previous season, demonstrating his capability as a pass catcher. The Patriots currently have Hunter Henry as the primary tight end, but injuries to Julian Hill and the inclusion of rookie Eli Raridon could create more opportunities for Hollins in a new role.
