""I think this topic, especially as a male, can often get pushed aside, can get brushed under the rug as not for men," Hollins explained. "Not for tough guys, not for I guess our gender, sex, whatever you want to call it. "But it happens more than people want to admit it happens, whether it's older men, younger men, successful men, poor men, rich men ... it happens to all men and it gets pushed under the rug too much.""
"Hollins wore a white t-shirt with "988" stamped in bold letters - representing the phone number of the national suicide and crisis lifeline. The phrase, "YOU ARE WORTH IT!!!" was also printed on the back of Hollins' shirt. Hollins's short also featured several words posted in smaller fonts. In the front were words like "scared, tired, trapped, broken, hurt, misunderstood" and "forgotten" - while the back had words like "healed, supported, loved, happy," and "joyful"."
Mack Hollins entered Gillette Stadium wearing a white t-shirt displaying "988," the national suicide and crisis lifeline, and "YOU ARE WORTH IT!!!" on the back. The shirt listed frontline feelings such as "scared, tired, trapped, broken, hurt, misunderstood" and "forgotten," with back words including "healed, supported, loved, happy" and "joyful." Hollins emphasized raising mental-health awareness and eliminating the stigma that prevents men from asking for help, noting the issue affects men of all ages and backgrounds. Hollins recorded four catches for 64 yards in New England's 27-14 win over the Jets.
