First-Year Raider Evaluations: Mack Hollins

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Mack Hollins recorded 690 receiving yards in his first season with the franchise.

The Las Vegas Raiders earned a pleasant surprise by bringing on wide receiver Mack Hollins last off-season.

The former Miami Dolphin and Philadelphia Eagle registered a career-high 690 receiving yards and matched his touchdown total of four from last season.

Before Las Vegas, the most starts Hollins made in a season was three. This season, he started in 16 of the Raiders' 17 games.

Hollins was crucial in big moments and put up at least 50 receiving yards in a handful of games.

As early as Week 3 against the Tennessee Titans, Hollins posted a career-high 158 receiving yards and found the end zone for his first touchdown as a Raider. He did so on only eight receptions.

One of the wide receiver's more memorable moments of the season was his 36-yard touchdown on a flea-flicker against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 12 that would lead to the Raiders' first lead. Las Vegas went on to win, 40-36, in overtime.

Another highlight was his critical 12-yard reception that earned the Raiders a first down on fourth-and-10 in the final two minutes of their game-tying drive against the New England Patriots in Week 15.

Hollins had scored a five-yard receiving touchdown earlier in the game.

He finished second on the team in receiving yards and touchdowns.

Hollins proved himself to be a great option in the wide receiver room. His presence only adds to Silver and Black's offensive firepower in receiving threats from Davante Adams, Darren Waller, and Hunter Renfrow.
