New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins went viral on Sunday when he showed up at the Super Bowl wearing a prison jumpsuit with shackles on his hands and feet.

The eccentric NFL star also wore a spit mask covering the lower half of his face. The video quickly went viral and left many Super Bowl viewers scratching their heads.

“RANGE 13” printed on the back of his prison jumpsuit referenced a supermax prison. Some fans said Hollins was dressed up as Hannibal Lector, the fictional serial killer from the movie “Silence of the Lambs.”

Hollins is known for publicity stunts and antics to make himself stand out. But this might be his craziest stunt yet.

Hollins, who won Super Bowl LII with the Philadelphia Eagles, has publicly stated he doesn’t wear shoes because they’re “dirty.”

“Everyone should be barefoot,” Hollins told Sports Illustrated in a 2025 interview. “It’s so funny that people look at me like that because shoes are definitely dirtier than feet.”

Hollins’ arrival was one of the most talked-about moments during Super Bowl 60.

One person wrote on X (Twitter), “Is anyone else sick of this performative bullsh*t?!!! Patriots WR Mack Hollins arrives for the Super Bowl dressed like Hannibal Lector… What in the entire eff was the point?”
