WR Mack Hollins

(You have a teammate in CB Ryan Lewis who you went to training camp with or worked against kind of during the season, and you get to see him here now. How much has he helped the transition process of going to a new team?) – “It’s big any time you see a familiar face. I think when you go anywhere, familiar faces are always good. They just show you the routine and how things are done, the things coach doesn’t like, what he does like, certain rules that guys wouldn’t know that only comes with the experience of being on a team. Having guys like him and Jomal Wiltz also played with me in Philly my rookie year. It’s great to have those type of guys.”

(What did they tell you about what they liked about you? Did Head Coach Brian Flores or General Managers Chris Grier or anyone say anything to you when you came in the building?) – “They just said that they see the type of player that I am where the team always comes first with me. I’ll do whatever the coach needs me to do if it helps us win ball games. They were excited about that and my energy. Like I said, I’ll do whatever necessary.”

(In your exit meeting with Head Coach Doug Pederson, did he indicate to you why they made the move?) – “There are a few different things, but I won’t get into that I’m just excited to be here. I’m excited to play for the Dolphins. Let’s win games here.”

(Just the idea, I know you have touched on this before, but did you ever envision being back here after Sunday? It must have struck you as weird when you got the news on Tuesday.) – “Yeah. I joke about it now. I’m like, ‘I guess I could have just stayed down here.’ The funny thing is we had two off days in Philly back-to-back, so it’s not like I even practiced up there. Hindsight is 20/20. I’m here now and it’s time to work.”

(You have an opportunity that the Dolphins have given you here to make some plays in the return game and on the field too.) – “It’s awesome. I think any player will tell you that an opportunity is a gift. You don’t get them all the time. I’ve definitely learned that over my three years in the NFL already. Them giving me the opportunity is all I can ask for and it’s time to take advantage.”

(Back when you studied the Dolphins defensive backs last week, who stood out to you?) – “They have a bunch of good guys. For me as a player when I study, I think I look at schemes a lot. Obviously I wasn’t the primary receiver in Philly, so Alshon (Jeffery) is going to have a guy follow him a lot of the time. For me, it was how could I dissect schemes and be able to do what I can reading safeties and reading what coverages they are in and relaying that type of stuff.”
