The Philadelphia Eagles drafted wide receiver Mack Hollins with their first Day 3 pick of the 2017 NFL Draft. Here are some reactions and things to know about this pick.
On Mack Hollins (6-4, 221 at combine), had he not had season cut short due to broken collarbone, he would have been drafted on 2nd day.

Mayock said Mack Hollins is the best special teams coverage team guy in the NFL Draft. ST coaches love him. #DaveFipp

Eagles could go with some pretty big WR lineups in 2017.
— Brandon Lee Gowton (@BrandonGowton) April 29, 2017
Alshon Jeffery: 6-3, 218
Mack Hollins: 6-4, 209
JMatt: 6-3, 212
WR Mack Hollins is a real interesting pick. Not explosively fast, but good downfield receiver. Also a great STs player. Dave Fipp is happy

Eagles want to throw deep. DGB didn't show that ability last year. Agholor wildly inconsistent. Hollins is at his best down the field.
— Tommy Lawlor (@lawlornfl) April 29, 2017
Hollins uses his size (unlike DGB) and plays special teams (unlike DGB).

More on Hollins: Big hands (9 3/4), longest wing-span of any WR at combine (80 3/8 total inches).

Love Mack Hollins - four-year team captain on special teams. Raw route runner, but vertical ability. 20 TDs in only 18 starts. Great dude.
— Dane Brugler (@dpbrugler) April 29, 2017
Mack Hollins: Awesome ST ability. Very good speed. Vertical threat. Faster than timed. Cordarrelle Patterson-lite. Effort player. Big upside

Mack Hollins' dream job is to "own a world-renowned aquarium." His favorite TV shows are "Good Times" and "Sanford and Son"

Mack Hollins collects exotic animals, has a pair of snakes he'll bring in the car with him to Philly. Said his dad had a Lion growing up(!).
