Mack Hollins open to playing tight end for Patriots in 2026

Mack Hollins, a former wide receiver for the Atlanta Falcons, expressed willingness to transition to tight end for the New England Patriots amid injury issues at the position. The Patriots lost backup Julian Hill and lack depth behind starter Hunter Henry. Hollins stated he is ready to take on any role that contributes to the team’s success, citing his physical attributes and blocking ability. Last season, he recorded 18 catches for 251 yards with the Falcons, and he hopes to see opportunities at tight end following the arrival of star receiver A.J. Brown. The Patriots are looking for solutions as they continue training camp.
